+=head1 RESTORE
+
+The files B<ftbackup> writes to the FTP server are "selfextracting"
+shell scripts.  They contain a file header with some information. If you
+download such a file and run it as a shell script, you will get the
+instructions:
+
+=head3 EXAMPLE
+
+    -- ftp -- until you have a local copy of the dump file
+    $ sh ./2010-04-04T13:00.0 
+
+or
+    
+    $ ftpipe --get ftp://backupserver/dumps/_/2010-04-04T13:00.0 | sh 
+
+NOTE: B<ftpipe> is a small tool for dumping FTP downloads into a pipe
+without storing them in the local file system. See at
+L<https://keller.schlittermann.de/hg/beta/ftpipe>.
