Start-SFVolumeRestore - S3 backup - no Manifest option

RenaudTouillet — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 12:00:10 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to script backup and restore of SF Volumes to/from S3 storage.

Backup is fine.

But restore command (Start-SFVolumeRestore) seems to be not complete. On the Web interface we can specify the Manifest Path to select the restore source. But with the PS command, there's no "-manifest" option. How can we specify the manifest path then?

I'm using SF PS 1.5.0.119

Many thanks.

Renaud

Start-SFVolumeRestore -VolumeID $ID -RestoreFrom S3 ... -Bucket backups

New issue has been created in the SF PowerShell repo:

Hello Elementx,

This is not correct. -Bucket does exist! This is the -Manifest whitch doesn't exist.

Thanks.
