Expand Archive

Why

The objective is to restore or clone the documents in a new location.

When

The documents can be restored/cloned after the archive file and key file (if applicable) are received at the new location.

How

To perform the expand and restore/clone you execute the Expand-Peter function.

Expand-Peter
    -ArchiveFile <String>
    -RestoreFolder <String>
    -RecipientKey <String>
    -SecretKey <String>
    -SecretFile <String>
    -LogPath <String>

If you encrypted the archive file with a RecipientKey then you will need the private key of the recipient and the ".key" file. You can specify the SecretFile if it is not the default name of the archive file followed by the extension ".key"

You cannot decrypt the archive file if you do not have the private key or the ".key" file.

To expand the archive you will need write access to the RestoreFolder location.

What

The Expand-Peter decrypts the archive file and expands the contents into the specified restore folder. It does not peform a reconciliation which is the next step.
