[extract](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/extract-a-backup/) an
archive containing a database dump.
The dump file can then be found in the extracted destination path within the
`~/.borgmatic/` directory. The `~` here corresponds to the HOME directory of
the user with whom you created the backup. For example, if you created the
backup with the `root` user, then the dump will be in
`EXTRACTED_DESTINATION_PATH/root/.borgmatic`. This also means you will have
to backup the HOME directory of that user you use to run `borgmatic create`
(otherwise there the dump file will not be available).
borgmatic extracts the dump file into the *`username`*`/.borgmatic/` directory
within the extraction destination path, where *`username`* is the user that
created the backup. For example, if you created the backup with the `root`
user and you're extracting to `/tmp`, then the dump will be in
`/tmp/root/.borgmatic`.
You can then use the dump file to manually restore it using the native database
After extraction, you can manually restore the dump file using native database
commands like `pg_restore`, `mysql`, `mongorestore` or similar.
