Start a restore operation on part of a data set. This operation copies files and/or directories from a specific backup version back to the primary location. The operation is performed in the background by a job. Error conditions: EOBJECTNOTFOUND - The data set name or ID or one of the member name or ID was not found. EACCESSDENIED - The data set exists, but the user invoking the API has no DFM.BackupManager.Restore permission on the data set or on any of the members. EINTERNALERROR - An error occurred while processing the request. Try again later. EINVALIDINPUT - The number of paths to restore was either 0 or more than 1000 or neither backup-id nor backup-version was specified. EDATABASEERROR - A database error occured. ENDRESTORENOTPOSSIBLE - A partial qtree restore is requested for a data set which requires a non disruptive restore.

Information about a path inside a data set.

Name	Range	Type	Description
member-name-or-id		obj-name-or-id	Name or id of the data set component that is at the root of the file tree. This may be qtree, ossv directory or volume id that is source of the physical data protection relationship.
path		string	Name of the path. The maximum path length is 32767 characters. This path is relative to "member-name-or-id" path in the storage system or OSSV host. Path cannot be empty.
primary-snapshot-name		string optional	Name of the Snapshot copy on the primary where the data being restored originated. This is ignored if primary-snapshot-unique-id is specified.
primary-snapshot-unique-id		string optional	Unique id of the Snapshot copy on the primary where the data being restored originated. Currently, this is the Snapshot copy's creation time. This is used to differentiate between versions of the same file in the same backup. If not specified and different versions of a file exist in two Snapshot copies in the backup, then a restore might be ambiguous.
restore-configuration		boolean optional	Valid only when an OSSV directory being restored is a Virtual Machine. If false the configuration of the Virtual Machine is not changed, only disks are restored. If true, the configuration and data are restored. Default value is true.

Information about a member inside a data set.

Name	Range	Type	Description
destination-host		obj-name-or-id	Host to restore this data set member to. The destination host must be compatible with the member type of the member being restored. For example, if the member is a volume, then this destination host must be a storage system.
destination-path		string optional	Path to restore this data set member to. The path will be interpreted relative to destination-host. If the destination host is a storage system, the path must not already exist. If the destination host is an OSSV, the path will be overwritten. In case of a Virtual Machine restore to the original location: The path must either be an empty string or not be specified. The restore will happen through the destination host. The format of this value depends on the host type of destination-host. If destination-host is a storage system, then it should be of the form "/vol1/[qtree1][/dir1..]". If a full volume restore is being specified, then the destination path must be a volume "/vol". If a full qtree restore is specified, and if the destination is a storage system, destination path can be either "/vol" or "/vol/qtree" and if it is "/vol", the server automatically appends the qtree name to the destination path to turn it into "/vol/qtree" format. If destination-host is an OSSV host, then it should be a pathname appropriate for the OSSV host. A Windows host will accept paths such as "C:\My Documents" and a UNIX host will accepts paths such as "/home/user". If the specified dataset-name-or-id is of an application data set, all the above rules apply. In addition, the files will be restored under a uniquely named directory under the destination path. The directory name is created by adding together three separate pieces of information (listed below) separated by a "_" character: Name of the primary Snapshot where data originated. All characters except [A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], '.', '-', '_', ')' and '(' are stripped from the Snapshot name and the name is trimmed to the first 42 characters before it is used. The 42 character limit ensures that the total length of the uniquely named directory does not exceed 64 characters. The DFM identifier of the primary qtree where the data originated. The DFM identifier of the Snapshot. This is currently the timestamp when the Snapshot was created. The maximum destination length is 32767 characters. In some cases, shorter destination lengths will fail due to limitations of underlying storage systems. Default value is an empty string.
member-name-or-id		obj-name-or-id	Name or identifier of the data set component that is at the root of the file tree. This may be qtree, ossv directory or volume id that is source of the physical data protection relationship.
path		string	Name of the path. The maximum path length is 32767 characters. This path is relative to "member-name-or-id" path in the storage system or OSSV host. Path cannot be empty. "/" is considered as full member restore when the member is a volume, qtree or OSSV directory.
primary-snapshot-name		string optional	Name of the Snapshot copy on the primary where the data being restored originated. This is ignored if primary-snapshot-unique-id is specified.
primary-snapshot-unique-id		string optional	Unique id of the Snapshot copy on the primary where the data being restored originated. Currently, this is the Snapshot copy's creation time. This is used to differentiate between versions of the same file in the same backup. If not specified and different versions of a file exist in two Snapshot copies in the backup, then a restore might be ambiguous.
restore-configuration		boolean optional	Valid only when an OSSV directory being restored is a Virtual Machine. If false the configuration of the Virtual Machine is not changed, only disks are restored. If true, the configuration and data are restored. Default value is true.

Name or internal ID of a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI type string. An obj-name-or-id must contain between 1 and 64 characters, and must conform to one of the following formats: It must have the format of an obj-name, or It must be the decimal numeric string form of a positive integer whose value is in the range [1..2^31 - 1]. Elements of type obj-name-or-id are used only as inputs to ZAPIs. The value must match either the name or internal ID of an existing DFM object. The ZAPI must specify the object's DFM object type (e.g. data set, host, DP policy, etc.). Some ZAPIs allow the object to be one of several different types. If the format of an obj-name-or-id input element does not conform, or the value does not match the name or ID of an existing object, then generally the ZAPI documents that it fails with error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. A ZAPI may return more specific error codes. In such cases, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior. If a ZAPI can accept a null value (e.g. reference to no object at all) for such an element, then the element is declared optional, and the absence of the input element represents a null value.
