C.2 Sample restore script
As an alternative to using Settings→Actions→Restore from backup from the appliance UI, you can
write and run a script to automatically restore the appliance from a backup file.
NOTE: Only a user with Infrastructure administrator privileges can restore an appliance.
Example 9 “Sample restore.ps1 script” provides a sample script that restores the appliance from
a backup file or obtains progress about an ongoing restore process.
Sample script
If you do not pass parameters to the script, the script uploads and restores a backup file.
1. Calls query-user() to get the appliance host name, user name and password, and backup
file path.
2. Calls login-appliance() to issue a REST request to get a session ID used to authorize
restore REST calls.
3. Calls uploadTo-appliance() to upload the backup to the appliance.
