### Channel Fund Restore from the channel backup files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Assumptions
|
||||||
|
- The node has been restored with a LND's cipher seed mnemonic.
|
||||||
|
- RTL generated channel backup file/s is available (all channel backup file is `channel-all.bak`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Steps to recover the funds
|
||||||
|
- Create a `restore` folder in your backup location folder, as specified in the RTL config file.
|
||||||
|
- Place the channel backup file in the `restore` folder.
|
||||||
|
- Access the `Restore` page under the `Channels` section of RTL.
|
||||||
|
- RTL will list the options to restore funds from the all channel file or individual channel backup file.
|
||||||
|
- Click on the `Restore` button on the grid to restore the funds.
|
||||||
|
- Once the restore function is executed successfully, RTL will rename the backup file and it will no longer be visible on the page.
|
||||||
|
- Restore function will force close the channels and recover the funds from them.
|
||||||
|
- The pending close channels can be viewed on the Pending page under `Channels`.
|
||||||
|
- The corresponding pending on-chain transactions can also be viewed on the Transactions list under the `On-Chain` page.
|
||||||
|
- Once the transactions are confirmed, the channels funds will be restored to your LND Wallet.
