Do a full restore from a shell console

You can do a full restore from the sensor shell console.

Open a shell console.
Locate the backup archive.
Use the simple file transfer protocol (SFTP) or secure copy protocol (SCP) to copy the backup archive to the admin@<appliance_ip>:/data/tmp/<backup_hostname_date_version.nozomi_backup> path of the sensor.
Note: For example, enter the command:
```
scp <backup_location_path>/<backup_hostname_date_version.nozomi_backup>
admin@<appliance_ip>:/data/tmp/
<backup_hostname_date_version.nozomi_backup>
```
In the shell console, enter the command:
```
n2os-fullrestore /data/tmp/<backup_hostname_date_version.nozomi_backup>
```
Note: You can use the --etc_restore option to restore the files from the /etc folder. This feature can be used with a backup produced from version 20.0.1 and newer.
