Use case: We have Koha instances on a number of different virtual servers, and databases on separate/dedicated servers. Sometimes we need to move an instance from one server to another, without doing anything about the database. It would be nice if we could copy a .tar.gz backupfile from the old server to the new server, and recreate the site on the new server with something like: sudo koha-restore --onlyfiles mykoha-<date>.tar.gz This is the opposite of bug 34777. :-)
