The restore command is used in the following syntax:

The file is the file or directory to restore. If no file is specified, the standard input will be restored.

The options can be used to specify the following:

For example, to restore the file myfile from the backup backup.tar, you would use the following command:

restore backup.tar myfile

This command will restore the file myfile from the backup backup.tar.
