+## Recovering Longhorn volumes without a Kubernetes cluster
+
+1. Navigate to the Longhorn backupstore location (`/mnt/longhorn/persistent/longhorn-backup/backupstore/volumes` for us).
+2. Find the directory for the desired volume: `ls **/**`.
+3. Determine the last backup for the volume: `cat volume.cfg | jq '.LastBackupName'`.
+4. Find the blocks and the order that form the volume: `cat backups/<name>.cfg | jq '.Blocks'`.
+5. Extract each block using lz4: `lz4 -d blocks/XX/YY/XXYY.blk block`.
+6. Append the blocks to form the file system: `cat block1 block2 block3 > volume.img`
+7. Lastly we need to fix the size of the image. We can simply append zero's to the end until the file is long enough so `fsck.ext4` does not complain anymore.
+8. Mount the image: `mount -o loop volume.img /mnt/volume`.
