Remarks




Use this function when restoring a database that requires multiple restore sessions before the ESE can be allowed to recover the database state. This function is needed, for example, when restoring both a full backup and an incremental backup for a database.


The application must supply the wszRestoreLogPath parameter. This folder must contain an appropriate restore context file, which will be read by this function.


After finishing the restore operations, the application should call the HrESERestoreClose Function to close the connection and free the memory allocated by the HrESERestoreOpen Function.


Applications that use this function must be run under a user account that has Microsoft Windows server operating systems Backup and Restore privileges.
