With this command you start the automatic recovery of the database.
The system uses the backup history to determine which backups to use for the recovery. If the backups are files or were created with third-party backup tools, the system also checks whether the corresponding backups can be accessed.
You have the server permission Recovery.
You have opened a database session (see: db_connect).
