Tensorflow: how to save/restore a model?

Question

After you train a model in Tensorflow:

1. How do you save the trained model?
2. How do you later restore this saved model?

Answer 1

As described in issue 6255:

use '**./**model_name.ckpt'
saver.restore(sess,'./my_model_final.ckpt')

instead of

saver.restore('my_model_final.ckpt')
