NAME

       xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image

SYNOPSIS

       xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target
       xfs_mdrestore -V

DESCRIPTION

       xfs_mdrestore  is  a  debugging  tool  that  restores  a metadata image generated by xfs_metadump(8) to a
       filesystem. The source argument specifies the location of the metadump  image  and  the  target  argument
       specifies  the destination for the filesystem image.  If the source is -, then the metadata image is read
       from stdin. This allows the output of be  another  program  such  as  a  compression  application  to  be
       redirected to xfs_mdrestore.  The target can be either a file or a device.

       xfs_mdrestore  should  not  be  used  to  restore  metadata  onto  an  existing filesystem unless you are
       completely certain the target can be destroyed.

OPTIONS

       -g     Shows restore progress on stdout.

       -V     Prints the version number and exits.

DIAGNOSTICS

       xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is successfully restored or  1  if  an  error
       occurs.
