Feature Request: Select parts of a backup while restore

[holm]

Yesterday i had to restore my synapse server from backup. worked.

but: only the database was broken. the restore of the database runs some seconds and all is fine. after this i had to wait one and a half hour while the media data (files on filesystem) where restored. my problem: only the database was broken. to solve my primary problem, the one minute restore of the database has could been the solution.

i would prefer to select in a advanced tab, which parts of my backup should be restored. the same thing as with nextcloud or wordpress or other tools.

@holm yes, thanks. This is planned but with a slightly different approach. The restore process will keep track of what it's downloaded, so that the download can be incremental. That way, one ideally doesn't need to select anything.
