RRDRESTORE(1)                                  rrdtool                                 RRDRESTORE(1)

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 XML representation of an RRD and converts it to the native RRD
       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
               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  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.
