NAME
       vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area

SYNOPSIS
       vgcfgrestore  [-d|--debug]  [-f|--file filename] [-l[l]|--list[--list]]
       [-h|--help]    [-M|--Metadatatype1|2]	[-n|--name    VolumeGroupName]
       [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgcfgrestore  allows  you to restore the metadata of your volume groups
       from a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

REPLACING PHYSICAL VOLUMES
       vgdisplay --partial --verbose will show you 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 appropriate) to ini‐
       tialise 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 volume group's metadata.
