NAME

       gm-restore_data - restoring data into an empty GNUmed database

SYNOPSIS

       gm-restore_database <target database> <backup file>

       <target database>: a GNUmed database (such as "gnumed_v19")

       <backup   file>:   a   data-only   GNUmed   database   backup   file   (such  as  "backup-
       gnumed_vX-*-data_only.tar.bz2")

DESCRIPTION

       The gm-restore_database script tries to restore a GNUmed database from a data-only backup.
       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.
