+Restore links.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Given a working ck instance (ckdb + ckrc + directories in ckrc with configs)
+restore shall recreate the links from the config directories in ckrc
+back to their corresponding position when added in ck.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is useful for copying your configs to a new linux installation
+or restoring deleted links.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It can either restore a specific program or all of them:
+</p>
+<div class="org-src-container">
+<pre class="src src-sh"><span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">restore progName</span>
+ck restore -p progName
+<span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">restore all</span>
+ck r all
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+Note:
+If ck tracks configs that are owned by root, simply running
+`ck restore &#x2026;` will fail due to permissions. To remedy this, ck will alter the
+owner and group of a link to match the one in the ckrc directories.
+Thus, running `sudo ck -c <i>home/myuser</i>.ck restore ..` will restore
+the root user's links as it should and the user links will have
+the user as the owner instead of the root.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ck checks that the configs exist and that the location for the link
+is avaliable before making any links. However, in the even that symlink
+fails for some other reason, the process will stop as is. Make sure you
+take care of the already created links, if that's the case.
