# Restore

A restore refers to the loading (restoring) of data into
the D3 file system from a backup media created by a save, or t-dump.

The t-load command can load a single
item or a series of items into an existing file from a t-dump tape.

The sel-restore command can load
a single item or a series of items into an existing file from a save
tape.

The account-restore command can create
and load an entire account into the file system from a save tape.

The restore-accounts command can create and
load any account on tape which does not already exist in the file
system from a save tape.

The :files command
can create and rebuild the entire file system from a save tape.

Choosing the (F)iles option from the (A)bs, (F)iles (X)ecute prompt after booting from the
D3 system #1 diskette can create and rebuild the entire file system
from a save tape.

Warning: Initiating a *full restore* (:files or (F)iles option)
destroys the current file system prior to loading on the files from
the backup media, and all current data is lost.
