The Restore command restores an Analysis Services database specified in the DatabaseName element from a backup file and optionally restores remote partitions from remote backup files.
Depending on the storage mode used by objects stored in the backup file, the Restore command restores information as listed in the following table.

During a Restore command, an exclusive lock is placed on the Analysis Services database specified in the DatabaseName element and released after the Restore command has completed.
