Hi Gurjeet,
I have addressed all your comments except for the tests.
I have tried adding test cases but I wasn't able to do it as it's in my
mind. I am not able to do things like having connections to the database
and trying to force the restore, then it will complete successfully
otherwise it shows errors.
In the meantime I will continue trying to do the test cases. If anyone can
help on that, I will appreciate it.
Thanks
