NAME
       era_restore - restore era metadata file to device or file.

SYNOPSIS
       era_restore [options] -i {xml file} -o {device|file}

DESCRIPTION
       era_restore restores era metadata created by the respective device-map‐
       per target dumped into an XML formatted (see era_dump(8))  file,	 which
       optionally  can be preprocessed before the restore to another device or
       file. If restored to a metadata device, the metadata can	 be  processed
       by the device-mapper target.

       This tool cannot be run on live metadata.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information and exit.

       -q, --quiet
	      Don't  print  any	 output.  Check the exit code to test for suc‐
	      cess.

       -i, --input {xml file}
	      Specify input file containing xml metadata.

       -o, --output {device|file}
	      Output device or file for restored binary metadata.

	   If a file is used, then it must be preallocated, and large enough to hold
	   the metadata.

EXAMPLE
       Restores the XML formatted era metadata on  file	 metadata  to  logical
       volume  /dev/vg/metadata	 for  further  processing  by  the  respective
       device-mapper target:

	   $ era_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata

DIAGNOSTICS
       era_restore returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.
