# Retrieving Data

If you have stored data with a miner in the network, you can search for it by CID

```sh
$ lotus client find <Data CID>
LOCAL
RETRIEVAL <miner>@<miner peerId>-<deal funds>-<size>
```

Retrieve data from a miner

```sh
$ lotus client retrieve <Data CID> <outfile>
```

This will initiate a retrieval deal and write the data to the outfile. This process may take some time.
