NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       era_restore [options] -i {xml file} -o {device|file}
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       era_restore restores era metadata created by the respective device-map‐
14       per target dumped into an XML formatted (see era_dump(8))  file,  which
15       optionally  can be preprocessed before the restore to another device or
16       file. If restored to a metadata device, the metadata can  be  processed
17       by the device-mapper target.
18
19       This tool cannot be run on live metadata.

39           the metadata.
