Chapter 8 introduced the concept of backing up your database. Making a copy of the database and storing it separately from the original database is a wonderful safety mechanism. But it’s an incomplete model. After you back up the database, you need to be able to bring it back and put all the structures and data from the backup onto your server for use again.

restore
