• Restore / Replace Mode (-r mode) - restores a previously existing object (as if from a backup)
  • By default, the Handle specified in the AIP is restored
    • However, for restores, you can force a new handle to be generated by specifying -o ignoreHandle=true as one of your parameters. (NOTE: Doesn't work for replace mode as the new object always retains the handle of the replaced object)
    • Although a Restore/Replace does restore Handles, it will not necessarily restore the same internal IDs in your Database.
  • By default, the object is restored under the Parent specified in the AIP
    • However, for restores, you can force it to restore under a different parent object by using the -p parameter. (NOTE: Doesn't work for replace mode, as the new object always retains the parent of the replaced object)
  • Always skips any Collection workflow approval processes when restoring/replacing an Item in a Collection
  • Never adds a new Deposit License to Items (rather it restores the previous deposit license, as long as it is stored in the AIP)
  • Never adds new DSpace System metadata to Items (rather it just restores the metadata as specified in the AIP)
