## Restore a VM with new Net FDs
For a VM created with FDs explicitly passed to NetConfig, a set of valid FDs
need to be provided along with the VM restore command in the following syntax:
```bash
# First terminal
./cloud-hypervisor --api-socket /tmp/cloud-hypervisor.sock
# Second terminal
./ch-remote --api-socket=/tmp/cloud-hypervisor.sock restore source_url=file:///home/foo/snapshot net_fds=[net1@[23,24],net2@[25,26]]
```
In the example above, the net device with id `net1` will be backed by FDs '23'
and '24', and the net device with id `net2` will be backed by FDs '25' and '26'
from the restored VM.
## Limitations
VFIO devices and Intel SGX are out of scope.
