13.5. Restore a Repository

Once you have a complete backup on disk, you can then restore a repository back to the state captured within the backup using the restoreRepository method provided by the org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager interface.
To do this, start a repository (or perhaps a new instance of a repository with a different configuration) and, before it is used by any applications, restore the content.
The following code demonstrates usage of the restore method: 
org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager repoMgr = ...
java.io.File backupDirectory = ...
Problems problems = repoMgr.restoreRepository(backupDirectory);
if ( problems.hasProblems() ) {
    System.out.println("Problems backing up the repository:");
    // Report the problems (we'll just print them out) ...
    for ( Problem problem : problems ) {
         System.out.println(problem);
    }
} else {
    System.out.println("The restoration was successful");
}
Once a restore succeeds, the newly-restored repository will be restarted and ready for use.
