+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+**notmuch** **restore** [--accumulate] [--format=(auto|batch-tag|sup)] [--input=<*filename*>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+Restores the tags from the given file (see **notmuch dump**).
+
+The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
+
+Supported options for **restore** include
+
+    ``--accumulate``
+        The union of the existing and new tags is applied, instead of
+        replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the dump
+        file.
+
+    ``--format=(sup|batch-tag|auto)``
+        Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, with each
+        line specifying a message-id and a set of tags. For details of
+        the actual formats, see **notmuch-dump(1)**.
+
+        **sup**
+            The **sup** dump file format is specifically chosen to be
+            compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So
+            if you've previously been using sup for mail, then the
+            **notmuch restore** command provides you a way to import all
+            of your tags (or labels as sup calls them).
+
+        **batch-tag**
+            The **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more robust
+            against malformed message-ids and tags containing whitespace
+            or non-\ **ascii(7)** characters. See **notmuch-dump(1)**
+            for details on this format.
+
+            **notmuch restore** updates the maildir flags according to
+            tag changes if the **maildir.synchronize\_flags**
+            configuration option is enabled. See **notmuch-config(1)**
+            for details.
+
+        **auto**
+            This option (the default) tries to guess the format from the
+            input. For correctly formed input in either supported
+            format, this heuristic, based the fact that batch-tag format
+            contains no parentheses, should be accurate.
