# DESCRIPTION
# OPTIONS
+-r, \--remote=*host*:*path*
+: restore the backup set from the given remote server. If
+ *path* is omitted, uses the default path on the remote
+ server (you still need to include the ':'). The connection to the
+ remote server is made with SSH. If you'd like to specify which port, user
+ or private key to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use the
+ `~/.ssh/config` file.
+
-C, \--outdir=*outdir*
: create and change to directory *outdir* before
extracting the files.
