I couldn't find anywhere what the -v switch does with the tmutil restore command. An answer would be greatly appreciated.

The tmutil commands restore verb syntax is:

restore [-v] src ... dst

The use of the -voption produces verbose output during the restore, i.e. additional information about the restore that's not outputted without it.

As a side note, tmutil -v will output the version of tmutil.

    @Eliad, Yes, run the command with and without the -v switch and see the difference for yourself. :)

  • You're right, it was more obvious with an error-less usage. Thanks
