Restore Systemstate

The restore systemstate command is deprecated for online system state restore operations.

Restriction:

You can no longer restore the system state on a system that is still online. Instead, use the ASR-based recovery method to restore the system state in offline Windows PE mode. For more information, see the following IBM Spectrum Protect wiki articles:
