NAME

       gm-restore_database_from_archive - restoring a GNUmed database

SYNOPSIS

       gm-restore_database_from_archive <backup>

       <backup>: a database backup file ("backup-gnumed_vX-*.tar.bz2") created by gm-backup

DESCRIPTION

       The  gm-restore_database_from_archive  script attempts to recreate from scratch the backed
       up GNUmed database. It tries to be very conservative. It is intended for  interactive  use
       by root and may have to be adjusted to your needs.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

       Note  that  for  some  reason  restoring  does not work when the backup file you intend to
       restore is a link to the actual backup. Use the full path instead.
