NAME

6       rrdrestore - Restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rrdtool restore filename.xml filename.rrd [--range-check|-r]
10       [--force-overwrite|-f]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The restore function reads the XML representation of an RRD and
14       converts it to the native RRD format.
15
16       filename.xml
17               The name of the XML file you want to restore. The special
18               filename "-" (a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.
19
20               In order to support the restore command in pipe mode
21               (especially when using RRDtool over a network connection), when
22               using "-" as a filename the end of the file can be signaled
23               either by closing the data channel after the file has
24               transferred (as would be the case when using input redirection
25               within a suitable shell) or by sending a crtl-Z / newline
26               combination. This allows one to send more commands to the
27               RRDtool server after a restore.
28
29       filename.rrd
30               The name of the RRD to restore.
31
32       --range-check|-r
33               Make sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits
34               defined for the various data sources.
35
36       --force-overwrite|-f
37               Allows RRDtool to overwrite the destination RRD.
