The RESTORE_CONTENT administration method restores an offline content file to its original storage area. It operates on one file at a time. If you need to restore more than one file at a time, use the API Restore method.
You can use RESTORE_CONTENT only when one server handles both data and content requests. If your configuration uses separate servers for data requests and content file requests, you must issue a Connect method that bypasses the Content Server to use RESTORE_CONTENT in the session.
The RESTORE_CONTENT method returns TRUE if the operation succeeds or FALSE if it fails.
You must have system administrator or superuser privileges to use the RESTORE_CONTENT method.
