NAME
  cache_restore - restore cache metadata file to device or file.

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

DESCRIPTION
  cache_restore restores cache metadata created by the respective device-mapper
  target dumped into an XML formatted (see cache_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 success.
  -i, --input {xml file}	Input xml.
  -o, --output {device|file}	Output file or device for restored binary metadata.

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

  --metadata-version {1|2}	Choose a metadata version.

DEBUGGING OPTIONS
  --debug-override-metadata-version {integer}	Override the version stored in the metadata.
  --omit-clean-shutdown		Don't set the clean shutdown flag.

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

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

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