DESCRIPTION
       vgcfgrestore  restores  the  metadata  of a VG from a text back up file
       produced by vgcfgbackup. This  writes  VG  metadata  onto  the  devices
       specifed in back up file.

       A  back	up  file  can  be specified with --file.  If no backup file is
       specified, the most recent one is used. Use --list for a	 list  of  the
       available back up and archive files of a VG.

       WARNING: When a VG contains thin pools, changes to thin metadata cannot
       be reverted, and data loss may occur if thin metadata has changed.  The
       force option is required to restore in this case.

USAGE
       Restore VG metadata from last backup.

       vgcfgrestore VG
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
       -

       Restore VG metadata from specified file.

       vgcfgrestore -f|--file String VG
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
       -

       List all VG metadata backups.

       vgcfgrestore -l|--list VG
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
       -

       List one VG metadata backup file.

       vgcfgrestore -l|--list -f|--file String
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
	   [ VG ]
       -

       Common options for command:
	   [ -M|--metadatatype lvm2|lvm1 ]
	   [	--force ]

       Common options for lvm:
	   [ -d|--debug ]
	   [ -h|--help ]
	   [ -q|--quiet ]
	   [ -t|--test ]
	   [ -v|--verbose ]
	   [ -y|--yes ]
	   [	--commandprofile String ]
	   [	--config String ]
	   [	--driverloaded y|n ]
	   [	--longhelp ]
	   [	--profile String ]
	   [	--version ]

OPTIONS
       --commandprofile String
	      The command profile to use for command configuration.  See
	      lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.

       --config String
	      Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf set‐
	      tings.  The String arg uses the same format as lvm.conf, or may
	      use section/field syntax.	 See lvm.conf(5) for more information
	      about config.

       -d|--debug ...
	      Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail
	      of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).

       --driverloaded y|n
	      If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.
	      For testing and debugging.

       -f|--file String
	      Read metadata backup from the named file.	 Usually this file was
	      created by vgcfgbackup.

       --force ...
	      Force metadata restore even with thin pool LVs.  Use with
	      extreme caution. Most changes to thin metadata cannot be
	      reverted.	 You may lose data if you restore metadata that does
	      not match the thin pool kernel metadata precisely.

       -h|--help
	      Display help text.

       -l|--list
	      List metadata backup and archive files pertaining to the VG.
	      May be used with --file. Does not restore the VG.

       --longhelp
	      Display long help text.

       -M|--metadatatype lvm2|lvm1
	      Specifies the type of on-disk metadata to use.  lvm2 (or just 2)
	      is the current, standard format.	lvm1 (or just 1) is a histori‐
	      cal format that can be used for accessing old data.

       --profile String
	      An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on
	      the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
	      Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --ver‐
	      bose.  Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with answer
	      'no'.

       -t|--test
	      Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is
	      implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
	      returning success to the calling function. This may lead to
	      unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool
	      relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but
	      hasn't.

       -v|--verbose ...
	      Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
	      detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.

       --version
	      Display version information.

       -y|--yes
	      Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
	      the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.	 (For automatic no,
	      see -qq.)

VARIABLES
       VG
	      Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.

       String
	      See the option description for information about the string con‐
	      tent.

       Size[UNIT]
	      Size is an input number that accepts an  optional	 unit.	 Input
	      units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi‐
	      talization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to  1024.	  The  default
	      input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep‐
	      resents other possible input units:  bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.   b|B  is
	      bytes,  s|S  is  sectors	of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes, m|M is
	      megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is petabytes,
	      e|E  is  exabytes.  (This should not be confused with the output
	      control --units, where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       See lvm(8) for information about environment  variables	used  by  lvm.
       For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG
       parameter.

NOTES
       To replace PVs, vgdisplay --partial --verbose will show the  UUIDs  and
       sizes  of any PVs that are no longer present. If a PV in the VG is lost
       and you wish to substitute another  of  the  same  size,	 use  pvcreate
       --restorefile filename --uuid uuid (plus additional arguments as appro‐
       priate) to initialise it with the same UUID as the missing  PV.	Repeat
       for  all	 other	missing	 PVs  in the VG.  Then use vgcfgrestore --file
       filename to restore the VG's metadata.
