As long as you have a backup or image to restore from, you can deploy the image to a new Linode and use rsync to transfer the files. You'll want to follow these steps:

  1. Deploy your backup or disk image to a new Linode (this guide will walk you through deploying from a saved image, and this guide explains how to deploy from a Linode backup)
  2. If you only need specific files from your image, you can follow the SSH section of our rsync guide to move specific files between the Linodes, or from the Linode to your local computer
  3. If you need a copy of the entire disk, we have a guide to copying a disk over SSH that has the necessary steps to do so

After you've moved your files or disk image over, you can delete your temporary Linode or keep it active as a redundant server.
