Restore a database from an existing backup by using the Netezza Performance Server CLI

Deployment options: Netezza Performance Server for Cloud Pak for Data System

Restore a database by running nzrestore on the Netezza host. The following is a sample syntax.

nzrestore -db dbname -connector netbackup -connectorArgs 
"DATASTORE_SERVER=NetBackup_master_server"

Rather than specify the -connectorArgs argument, you can set the environment variable DATASTORE_SERVER. If you set the environment variable, and then use the command-line argument -connectorArgs, the command-line argument takes precedence.

The restore operation does not use a NetBackup policy or schedule.
