# `mix tay.storage.restore`
[🔗](https://github.com/AndriiSydorenko1904/tay/blob/v1.6.1/lib/mix/tasks/tay.storage.restore.ex#L1)

Restores a cold backup after verifying its external SHA-256 catalog.

    mix tay.storage.restore --source /backup --destination /store --catalog /restore.json --verify-catalog /backup.json --durability development

The default `--durability sync` requires `--validated-filesystem` and a
supported persistent Linux filesystem. The destination and new catalog
must not exist; failed staging is retained for inspection.
