Restoring Flame Archive from CLI: Destination path required?

Sysadmins

Hello,

would like to restore a Flame Archive (created on Flame 2021) soon* to Flame 2025 (I did not yet update to Falme 2025).

The following command does list all Flame projects but not where they are stored in macOS filesystem.

/opt/Autodesk/io/bin/flame_archive -l

.
Question:
Does the following command automatically restore the Archive to it’s proper location in the filesystem?

/opt/Autodesk/io/bin/flame_archive --restore --archive <archive_path> --project <project_name>

.
PS 1:
In macOS Finder the Flamestore is mounted on /Volume/Framestore

Here’s the Help page for command line archiving:

From the Examples section:
Restore project prj1 from archive arch1
flame_archive -r -F /tmp/arch1 -S '/Archive Session - 2014/03/12 23:43:40/prj1'

I would highly recommend you unarchive via Flame’s interface, it will make your life a lot easier.
