Restore the SharePoint Farm
Scenario/Problem: You want to restore the farm from a backup.
Solution: Use the Restore-SPFarm cmdlet with the Directory parameter.
The Restore-SPFarm cmdlet enables you to restore the farm based on the backup files in the directory specified, as shown in Listing 7.14.
Listing 7.14. Sample Script for Restoring a Farm
Restore-SPFarm -Directory F:\Backups -RestoreMethod Overwrite
The RestoreMethod parameter can be New or Overwrite. Using New creates a new location for the backup to be restored. Overwrite restores the backup in place and overwrites the current farm content.
