TDBRESTORE(8)

💾 TDBRESTORE ✨ (that's the manual page, bestie — section 8, sysadmin tools 👑)

🌸 NAME 🌸

tdbrestore — the lil tool that builds a TDB file back up out of a tdbdump output 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tdbrestore {tdbfilename}

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so first things first: this tool is part of the samba(1) suite 💅

tdbrestore is a very simple utility — like, lowkey does-one-thing energy — and what it does is "restore" the contents of a dump file into a TDB (Trivial DataBase) file 🦋 And where do you get that dump file, you ask? From the tdbdump command, periodt.

This tool waits on the standard input for the content of the dump, and then it writes the tdb into the tdbfilename parameter 🌸

So basically you can use this tool for unpacking the content of a tdb as a backup mean 💖 iconic.

⭐ VERSION ⭐

This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite 🎀
