Description

I've written a resource for restoring databases that can be found here: https://github.com/arcotek-ltd/xSQLDbRestore.

I doubt anyone else wants it and I don't have time to learn how to do all the pester testing right now, so there is little point me raising a PR. (Not that I don't want to learn), but if anyone else thinks it might be a nice addition, please feel free to fix my poor coding (scripting) and add it to the main resource.

HTH.

Research direction

Start with the linked xSQLDbRestore repository and compare its proposed resource with the existing SqlServerDsc resource structure. Review the Pester testing approach before deciding how the resource should be integrated. Done means an agreed SqlDatabaseRestore resource is added to the module with its Pester coverage passing.
