The function restores the database from a previously made backup. The function can be called on the local machine or on a server client. When calling the function locally, the database must be available exclusively. When calling RestoreDB from a server client, the request is passed to the server. Before restoring the database, the server waits the number of seconds passed to the function until remaining active clients are killed.
