+## NAME
+podman\-container\-restore - Restores one or more running containers
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman container restore** [*options*] *container* ...
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+Restores a container from a checkpoint. You may use container IDs or names as input.
+
+## OPTIONS
+**-k**, **--keep**
+
+Keep all temporary log and statistics files created by CRIU during
+checkpointing as well as restoring. These files are not deleted if restoring
+fails for further debugging. If restoring succeeds these files are
+theoretically not needed, but if these files are needed Podman can keep the
+files for further analysis. This includes the checkpoint directory with all
+files created during checkpointing. The size required by the checkpoint
+directory is roughly the same as the amount of memory required by the
+processes in the checkpointed container.
+
+Without the **-k**, **--keep** option the checkpoint will be consumed and cannot be used
+again.
+
