vgcfgrestore restores the metadata of a VG from a text back up file produced by \fBvgcfgbackup\fP. This writes VG metadata onto the devices specified in back up file. .P A back up file can be specified with \fB--file\fP. If no backup file is specified, the most recent one is used. Use \fB--list\fP for a list of the available back up and archive files of a VG. .P 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.
