Restoring a service's DB and /srv data from restic snapshots is error-prone and risky without guardrails. This skill provides a controlled, per-service recovery workflow that minimizes downtime and protects data.
Use the hetzbot-restore skill to restore a service on a host from a specific restic snapshot.

To restore a service database and /srv data from a restic snapshot, you need a controlled workflow that coordinates snapshot selection, pre-restore backups, and service restarts to minimize downtime and prevent data loss on the target host.
Per-service database recovery is safest when using a workflow that includes explicit safety prompts, automatic pre-restore backups, and a controlled sequence of stop, restore, and start with post-restore validation to ensure data integrity.
Pre-restore backup orchestration works by creating a safety backup before initiating the restic snapshot recovery, stopping the target service, applying the restore, and then restarting the service with state validation for safe rollback capability.
Yes, you can restore only one specific service instead of a full host rebuild by applying per-service restoration from restic snapshots, which targets the individual service DB and /srv data on a single host.
Yes, you need host and service mapping along with restic integration to restore data from restic backups, because the recovery process requires coordinating snapshot selection and service restarts on the specific target host.
Limitations of restoring databases per-service from restic snapshots include the requirement for a controlled sequence to stop, restore, and start the service, meaning downtime is unavoidable and the process is constrained to per-host services managed by Hetzbot.
