Restore Class

The Restore object provides programmatic access to restore operations.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended (in microsoft.sqlserver.smoextended.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class Restore
    Inherits BackupRestoreBase
C#
public sealed class Restore : BackupRestoreBase
C++
public ref class Restore sealed : public BackupRestoreBase
J#
public final class Restore extends BackupRestoreBase
JScript
public final class Restore extends BackupRestoreBase

By using a Restore object you can do the following:

  • Restore all or part of a database.

  • Restore backup images of transaction log records.

  • Verify the integrity of backup media.

  • Report the contents of backup media.

  • Monitor a restore operation, reporting status to the user.

SQL Server can write a backup to one of four media types: disk, tape, named pipe, or a backup device. SQL Server supports backup striping. A striped backup is one directed to more than a single device. Striping is supported to a single media type only. That is, a backup can be written to two tape devices. Half of a backup cannot be written to a tape device and the other half to a disk.

At a minimum, supply values for a restore source when using a Restore object. Use one media type property to specify the restore operation source.

Setting other properties in the Restore object may be required by the restore operation desired.


System.Object
   Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.BackupRestoreBase
    Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Restore
Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Restore class has moved assembly      Niels Grove-Rasmussen   |   Edit   |   Show History

Please notice that the Restore class moved assembly with SQL Server 2008 from "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo" to the namespace "Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended".

Using PowerShell the assembly can be loaded like this:

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMOExtended')

A Restore object is - still - created like this:

$restore = New-Object 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Restore'
