Use the DB2 command line interface to perform Commvault restores when the Commvault interface does not support the commands or options, or when you do not want to use the CommCell Console interface.
Note: If you run DB2 v10.5 FP8 or later, you must open an additional session when you perform a restore from an online backup.

-
An in-place restore

An in-place restore to the end of the logs
-
A point-in-time restore
