+<h2>RESTORING</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<p>Since <tt>safekeep(1)</tt> is built around <tt>rdiff-backup(1)</tt>, it doesn't have any
+built-in restore capabilities. It simply relies on <tt>rdiff-backup</tt> to perform
+this task.</p>
+<p>To do so, you just need to know the directory where the data is actually
+stored. In a typical installation, for a box configured via the file
+<tt>/etc/safekeep.d/mybox.conf</tt>, the data will be stored under
+<tt>/var/lib/safekeep/mybox/</tt>. Please refer to <tt>safekeep.conf(5)</tt> for more
+information on this matter.</p>
+<p>Once you have determined where the data will be stored (we'll continue
+the example above), all you have to do is run <tt>rdiff-backup</tt>:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre><tt>        # rdiff-backup /var/lib/safekeep/mybox my-restore-dir</tt></pre>
+</div></div>
+<p>You will be able to find more information on the restore procedure in
+the <tt>rdiff-backup(1)</tt> man page.</p>
