.SH NAME
rrdrestore \- Restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBrrdtool\fR \fBrestore\fR \fIfilename.xml\fR \fIfilename.rrd\fR
[\fB\-\-range\-check\fR|\fB\-r\fR]
[\fB\-\-force\-overwrite\fR|\fB\-f\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBrestore\fR function reads the XML representation of an RRD and converts
it to the native \fBRRD\fR format.
.IP \fIfilename.xml\fR 8
.IX Item "filename.xml"
The name of the \fBXML\fR file you want to restore. The special filename "\-"
(a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.
.Sp
In order to support the restore command in pipe mode (especially when
using \fBRRDtool\fR over a network connection), when using "\-" as a filename
the end of the file can be signaled either by closing the data
channel after the file has transferred (as would be the case when
using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending a
crtl-Z / newline combination. This allows one to send more commands to the
\&\fBRRDtool\fR server after a restore.
.IP \fIfilename.rrd\fR 8
.IX Item "filename.rrd"
The name of the \fBRRD\fR to restore.
.IP \fB\-\-range\-check\fR|\fB\-r\fR 8
.IX Item "--range-check|-r"
Make sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined for
the various data sources.
.IP \fB\-\-force\-overwrite\fR|\fB\-f\fR 8
.IX Item "--force-overwrite|-f"
Allows \fBRRDtool\fR to overwrite the destination \fBRRD\fR.
