restoreBackup

Copies an available backup snapshot so that it is available for import into the environment.

Use the listBackups command to determine if the backup you want to restore is available. Self-service restoration of a snapshot to the environment saves you processing time. After restoring the snapshot, use the importSnapshot command to import it into the environment.

Note:

Narrative Reporting only: Use this process to import the restored snapshot:
  1. Use the downloadFile command to download the restored snapshot to a local computer.
  2. Rename the downloaded snapshot to EPRCS_Backup.
  3. Use the uploadFile command to load the renamed snapshot (EPRCS_Backup) to the environment. Be sure to specify to_be_imported upload location within the command.
  4. In Narrative Reporting, open the Daily Maintenance card.
    1. Select Use an Uploaded Backup Snapshot.
    2. Click Schedule Restore to import the snapshot during the next daily maintenance.
    3. Click Yes.

Usage

epmAutomate restoreBackup SNAPSHOT_NAME [targetName=TARGET_SNAPSHOT_NAME], where:

  • SNAPSHOT_NAME is the name of a backup snapshot available in the environment as listed by the listBackups command.
  • targetName, optionally, is the name for the backup snapshot, without an extension, in the target environment. If you do not specify this value, the backup snapshot is restored to the target environment using the SNAPSHOT_NAME, but with a _ (underscore) replacing the / (slash). For example, if SNAPSHOT_NAME is 2022-05-14T00:08:56/Artifact_Snapshot.zip the targetName will be 2022-05-14T00:08:56_Artifact_Snapshot.zip.
