+.SH NAME
+btrfs-restore \- try to restore files from a damaged filesystem image
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBbtrfs restore\fP [options] <device> <path> | \-l <device>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBbtrfs restore\fP is used to try to salvage files from a damaged filesystem and
+restore them into \fIpath\fP or just list the subvolume tree roots. The filesystem
+image is not modified.
+.sp
+If the filesystem is damaged and cannot be repaired by the other tools
+(\fI\%btrfs\-check(8)\fP or \fI\%btrfs\-rescue(8)\fP),
+\fBbtrfs restore\fP could be used to
+retrieve file data, as far as the metadata are readable. The checks done by
+restore are less strict and the process is usually able to get far enough to
+retrieve data from the whole filesystem. This comes at a cost that some data
+might be incomplete or from older versions if they\(aqre available.
+.sp
+There are several options to attempt restoration of various file metadata type.
+You can try a dry run first to see how well the process goes and use further
+options to extend the set of restored metadata.
+.sp
+For images with damaged tree structures, there are several options to point the
+process to some spare copy.

+.sp
+The format is not very comfortable and restores all files in the
