- Using the Default Restore Mode without the
-a option, will only restore the metadata for that specific Community or Collection. No child objects will be restored. - Using the Default Restore Mode with the
-a option, will only successfully restore a Community or Collection if that object along with any child objects (Sub-Communities, Collections or Items) do not already exist. In other words, if any objects belonging to that Community or Collection already exist in DSpace, the Default Restore Mode will report an error that those object(s) could not be recreated. If you encounter this situation, you will need to perform the restore using either the Restore, Keep Existing Mode or the Force Replace Mode (depending on whether you want to keep or replace those existing child objects).
