NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The restore function reads the representation of an and converts it to the native format.

filename.xml

The name of the

XML

file you want to restore. The special filename ``-'' (a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.

In order to support the restore command in pipe mode (especially when using RRDtool over a network connection), when using ``-'' as a filename the end of the file can be signalled 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 RRDtool server after a restore.

filename.rrd

The name of the

RRD

to restore.

--range-check|-r

Make sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined for the various data sources.

--force-overwrite|-f

Allows RRDtool to overwrite the destination

RRD

.
