Examples

Restore-VEORDatabase Example 1. Restoring Latest State of Oracle Database to Same Server

This example shows how to restore the latest state of an Oracle database to the original server.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"

Restore-VEORDatabase -Database $database -Force

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in this example, it is the first restore session in the array).
Run the Get-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
Run the Restore-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $database variable as the Database parameter value. Provide the Force parameter to overwrite the database on the original server with the restored database.

Restore-VEORDatabase Example 2. Restoring Oracle Database to Another Windows Server

This example shows how to restore an Oracle database to another Windows machine with Oracle.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"

$windowscreds = Get-Credential

$orahomepass = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter your password" -AsSecureString

$pit = Get-Date -Date "2026-02-25 15:00:00"

$pitutc = $pit.ToUniversalTime()

Restore-VEORDatabase -Database $database -WindowsCredentials $windowscreds -Server "winorcl01" -OracleHome "C:\app\Administrator\product\19.0.0.\dbhome_1" -OracleHomePassword $orahomepass -GlobalDatabaseName "orcl_res.tech.local" -OracleSid "orcl" -ToDateTime $pitutc

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In this example, it is the first restore session in the array.
Run the Get-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
Run the Get-Credential cmdlet to create a credential object. Enter the credentials that will be used for authenticating to the target Windows machine. Save the result to the $windowscreds variable.
Run the Read-Host cmdlet. Specify the Prompt parameter value. Provide the AsSecureString parameter. Save the result to the $orahomepass variable.
Run the Get-Date cmdlet and specify the date and time of the point-in-time state to which you want to restore your database. Save the result to the $pit variable.
Convert the $pit variable to the UTC format using the ToUniversalTime() method. Save the result to the $pitutc variable.

Note that you can use the Get-VEORDatabaseRestoreInterval cmdlet to get the restore interval of the necessary database in UTC.
Run the Restore-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Set the $database variable as the Database parameter value.
- Set the $windowscreds variable as the WindowsCredentials parameter value.
- Specify the Server parameter value.
- Specify the OracleHome parameter value.

- Specify the GlobalDatabaseName parameter value.
- Specify the OracleSid parameter value.
- Set the $pitutc variable as the ToDateTime parameter value.

Restore-VEORDatabase Example 3. Restoring Oracle Database to Another Linux Server

This example shows how to restore an Oracle database to another Linux machine with Oracle.

$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession

$database = Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"

$securepassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString

$linuxcreds = New-VEORLinuxCredential -Account "root" -Password $securepassword

$pit = Get-Date -Date "2026-02-25 15:00:00"

$pitutc = $pit.ToUniversalTime()

Restore-VEORDatabase -Database $database -LinuxCredentials $linuxcreds -Server "linorcl01" -OracleHome "/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/" -GlobalDatabaseName "orcl_res.tech.local" -OracleSid "orcl" -ToDateTime $pitutc -SshPort 26

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEORRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In this example, it is the first restore session in the array.
Run the Get-VEORDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
Run the Read-Host cmdlet. Specify the Prompt parameter value. Provide the AsSecureString parameter. Save the result to the $securepassword variable.
