SuppressResetLog	Defines that Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN will not run the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOG command after recovery or restore operations. Note: Do not provide this parameter if you run the script with the following parameters: OracleHome OracleSid GlobalDatabaseName ChangeDBID	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
SshPort	For restore to a Linux machine. Specifies the SSH port number that the cmdlet will use to connect to the Linux machine.	Int32	False	Named	False
TargetPath	Specifies the target path array. The cmdlet will restore the Oracle database files to the locations specified in the array. Note: You must assign a specific file path for each Oracle database file.	String[]	False	Named	False
Force	Defines that the cmdlet will overwrite the existing Oracle database with the database from the backup. Note: The cmdlet will show no prompt before executing the command.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False

Examples

Restore-VEORRMANDatabase Example 1. Restoring Oracle Databases to Another Location

This example shows how to restore an Oracle database backed up with Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN to the OracleSrv2049 server with the following settings:

The database will be assigned the ORCL Oracle SID.
The database will be assigned the orcl global database name.
The database will be restored to the E:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 Oracle home path.
The cmdlet will generate a new database ID.

$backup = Get-VEORRMANBackup -Name "RMAN DB01"

$session = Start-VEORRMANRestoreSession -Backup $backup

$database = Get-VEORRMANDatabase -Session $session -Name "orcl"

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

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

Restore-VEORRMANDatabase -Database $database -Server "OracleSrv2049" -OracleSid ORCL -OracleHome "E:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1" -GlobalDatabaseName orcl -ChangeDbId -ToCurrentpointIntime -RestoreAndRecover
