1891596 - Add `recoverFromBackup` to BackupService

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Profile Backup, task, P3)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

This method should have the following signature:

/**
  * Creates a new named profile and processes a decompressed backup
  * that exists at recoveryPath. The backup is then recovered into a the
  * newly created profile.
  *
  * @param {string} recoveryPath
  *  The path on the file system where the backup has been decompressed.
  */
async recoverFromBackup(recoveryPath) {
}

For each folder inside of the backup, the appropriate BackupResource should be instantiated, and recover called on it (see bug 1888436). Resources that do not implement recover will throw, and recoverFromBackup should log and handle that like the backup case.

This method shouldn't try to launch the newly created profile.
