By importing backups from a backup medium, you can restore a database instance after a crash or an error, or reset it to a previous status.
Usually, a complete data backup is imported first, and then, if necessary, additional incremental data backups and log backups from the backup history.
You can also import data backups from a group of parallel backup media to reduce the restore time.
Use the Database Manager to perform the restore.
