+RestoreScript Quick Usage
+
+This is a simple quick-reference for common restore operations with RestoreScript.ps1.
+
+Recommended flow
+
+0) Perform a Live Mount of the desired snapshot to the target server
+
+Make sure all channels are mounted under a common root, e.g:
+
+D:\Rubrik\lm\0
+D:\Rubrik\lm\1
+
+1) Catalog backups first (not NEEDED but a good start point)
+
+List databases discovered in backup files:
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action catalog
+
+List one specific database from catalog:
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action catalog -DatabaseName DataAW1
+
+2) Verify backup headers/chains
+
+Verify one database:
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action verify -DatabaseName DataAW1
+
+3) Restore
+
+Basic restore syntax
+
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action restore -DatabaseName DataAW1 -DataPath F:\Data -LogPath G:\Logs
+
+Required for restore:
+- -SqlInstance
+- -LiveMountRoot
+- -Action restore
+- -DatabaseName (source DB in catalog)
+- -DataPath
+- -LogPath
+
+Normal restore (latest available point)
+
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action restore -DatabaseName DataAW1 -DataPath F:\Data -LogPath G:\Logs
+
+What it does:
+- Selects latest usable FULL
+- Applies latest compatible DIFF (if available)
+- Applies available LOG backups (if any)
+- Recovers database
+
+Point-in-time restore (StopAtTime)
+
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action restore -DatabaseName DataAW1 -DataPath F:\Data -LogPath G:\Logs -StopAtTime "2026-04-10 17:30:00"
+
+Tips:
+- Use local SQL Server time format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
+- StopAtTime and StopAtLSN are mutually exclusive (use only one)
+
+Restore and rename target database
+
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action restore -DatabaseName DataAW1 -NewName CloneRbk_DataAW1 -DataPath F:\Data -LogPath G:\Logs
+
+What it does:
+- Restores source backup chain from DataAW1
+- Creates target DB as CloneRbk_DataAW1
+- Renames physical files to avoid collisions with source DB files
+
+Optional: Preview restore plan only (no restore execution)
+
+.\RestoreScript.ps1 -SqlInstance SQLFC1\SQLFC1P -LiveMountRoot C:\Rubrik\lm\ -Action restore -DatabaseName DataAW1 -NewName CloneRbk_DataAW1 -DataPath F:\Data -LogPath G:\Logs -StopAtTime "2026-04-10 17:30:00" -PreviewRestorePlan
