Hi ! I did a mistake on my storage bucket but fortunately I have an old backup.
(using this method which works flawlessly : https://dev.to/appwrite/appwrite-in-production-backups-and-restores-4beg)

However I would like to restore the storage part only, because we had new users and activity since then.

How can I restore the storage buckets only from an old backup ?

I tried tinkering with the restore script and dump.sql file but it always seem break my appwrite instance.

Thanks !

Summary

User accidentally deleted and replaced pictures on their storage bucket. They are unable to read images and their Appwrite container is behaving strangely. They want to restore only the storage buckets from an old backup without affecting other data. They have tried modifying the restore script and dump.sql file but it breaks their Appwrite instance.

I did a batch deleting pictures and replacing them with compressed versions of them.

But it didn't upload some files after deleting them...

Anyway, my problem is I would like to restore my storage buckets from another backup, and not override any other data

You guys really need to work on a backup/restore solution.....
The script on dev.to causes huge bugs
