Restore limitations can be used to control which files and databases get restored. Remember, if you make a mistake you can rollback the last restore and try again with different limitations.

By default all files and databases get restored. Negative limitations start with a minus sign and exclude files or directories from being restored. We use the same format to configure backup overrides, except that limitations only apply during restore time.

### Syntax

LIMIT := -?(/path/to/include/or/exclude | mysql:database[/table])

Any number of limitations can be specified, on separate lines or separated by whitespace.

### Example

    # Exclude system configuration changes
    -/etc

    # Except changes to Webmin configuration
    /etc/webmin

    # Exclude the Drupal cache table from being restored
    -mysql:drupal6/cache
