`refdb-restore` -h -u user -w pwd backup-archive

## Description

refdb-restore is a tool for restoring RefDB(7) references, notes and styles. The backup archive must have been created by the companion tool refdb-backup.

## Options

`-h`

  print help and exit

`-u` user

  username for RefDB clients (refdba, refdbc) not required if clients are configured for automatic access

`-w` pwd

  password for RefDB clients (refdba, refdbc) not required if clients are configured for automatic access
