### How can I restore lost files?
You can manually connect to your borg repository. You'll need
* location of your SSH key (`SSH_KEY`)
* SSH user name (`SSH_USER`)
* SSH host (`SSH_HOST`)
* directory where the borg repo lives (`BORG_REPO`)
* name of the borg repo (`BORG_NAME`)
`
Use the following command to export a tar archive:
`````
BORG_RSH="ssh -i SSH_KEY" borg export-tar ssh://SSH_USER@SSH_HOST/BORG_REPO::BORG_NAME TAR_NAME DIR_NAME
```
Borg will create a tar file with the name `TAR_NAME` and outputs all contents from the directory `DIR_NAME` into it.
