Restoring is the moment backups pay off. rumahl verifies the data before restoring and overwrites nothing until the verification succeeded.
Restoring your system
- 1Install rumahl OS fresh on the target device (see the installation guide).
- 2Open Settings → Backup → Restore.
- 3Select the backup (USB, NAS or remote) — rumahl verifies checksums and integrity.
- 4Confirm the restore — the system is recreated with the saved settings, apps and data.
- 5After reboot: log in with your old credentials and check everything.
When to make a manual backup
- Before major updates and moves
- Before attaching new storage hardware or rebuilding arrays
- Before installing experimental apps
Restoring is the one exercise worth practising: run through it once, and you will stay calm in an emergency.
