== Name
cryptsetup-luksHeaderRestore - restore a binary backup of the LUKS header and keyslot area
== SYNOPSIS
*cryptsetup _luksHeaderRestore_ --header-backup-file <file> [<options>] <device>*
== DESCRIPTION
Restores a binary backup of the LUKS header and keyslot area from the specified file.
Using '-' as a filename reads the header backup from a file named '-'.
All keyslots will be replaced; only the passphrases from the backup will work afterward.
This command requires that the volume key size and data offset of the LUKS header and backup match.
Alternatively, the backup will also be written if the device has no LUKS header.
*<options>* can be [--header, --header-backup-file, --disable-locks].
