How to restore funds in channels via RTL.
Assumption:

1. The node has been restored with a LND's cipher seed.
2. RTL generated channel backup file/s is available (all channel backup file is channel-all.bak).

Steps:

1. Create a restore folder in your folder backup location, as specified in the RTL config file.
2. Place the channel backup file in the restore folder.
3. Access the Restore page under the Channels section of RTL.
4. RTL will list the options to restore funds from the all channel file or individual channel backup file.
5. Click on the Restore icon on the grid to restore the funds.
6. Once the restore function is executed successfully, RTL will rename the backup file and it will be removed from the UI.
7. Restore function will force close the channels and recover the funds from them.
8. The pending close channels can be viewed on the Pending page under Channels.
9. The corresponding pending on-chain transactions can also be viewed on the List Transactions page under LND Wallet.
10. Once the transactions are confirmed, the channels funds will be restored to your LND Wallet.
