NAME

       pibootctl-load - pibootctl manual

SYNOPSIS

          pibootctl load [-h] [--no-backup] name

DESCRIPTION

       Overwrite the current boot configuration with a stored one.

OPTIONS

       name   The name of the boot configuration to restore

       -h, --help
              Show a brief help page for the command.

       --no-backup
              Don't  take  an  automatic  backup of the current boot configuration if one doesn't
              exist

USAGE

       The load command is used to replace the current boot  configuration  with  one  previously
       stored.        Effectively        this        simply        unpacks        the       PKZIP
       <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_(file_format)> of the stored  boot  configuration  into
       the boot partition, overwriting existing files.

       If  the  current  boot  configuration  has  not  been  stored  (with the save command), an
       automatically named backup will be saved first:

          $ sudo pibootctl save default
          $ sudo pibootctl set video.hdmi0.group=1 video.hdmi0.mode=4
          $ sudo pibootctl load default
          Backed up current configuration in backup-20200310-095646

       This can be avoided with the --no-backup option.

       WARNING:
          The command is written to guarantee that no files will ever be left half-written (files
          are  unpacked  to  a temporary filename then atomically moved into their final location
          overwriting any existing file).

          However, the utility cannot guarantee that in the event of an error, the  configuration
          as a whole is not half-written (i.e. that one or more files failed to unpack). In other
          words, in the event of failure  you  cannot  assume  that  the  boot  configuration  is
          consistent.
