After this you can start your favorite VNC client (viewer) to see what's inside the server. The latter would be visible on port 5925 (:25 argument).

# criu dump -t 17854 --images-dir imgs/ --log-file dump.log -v4 --tcp-established
The <code>-v 4</code> option is required to make criu more verbose and the <code>--tcp-established</code> one is needed, to make criu handle active TCP connection -- the one between VNC server and VNC client.

What has changed from the dump command is the action (it's restore now), the log file name (not to mix things up) and the new <code>-d</code> option. It says, that after restoring criu should exit and make the restored tree of tasks to be reparented to the init task.
