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 .
