Restores a database from a backup. The Directory Server must be started prior to running this script. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below: -a archivedir The directory of the archived database. -Z Server Identifier The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped. -D Root DN The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.
