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.
