$DtServerObjectAlpha= New-DtServer -Name alpha -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

$DtServerObjectBeta = New-DtServer -Name beta -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

$DtJobForAlpha = Get-DtJob -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta | Where-Object { $_.Statistics.CoreConnectionDetails.SourceMachineName -eq $DtServerObjectAlpha}

$DtRestoreOptions = Get-DtRecommendedRestoreOptions -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -JobId $DtJobForAlpha.Id -RestoreTarget $DtServerObjectAlpha

$DtRestoreOptions.RestoreOptions.RestoreParameters.ProcessOrphans = $true

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta

A server object is created for the server alpha using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectAlpha. A server object is created for the server beta using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectBeta. The job(s) are retrieved from DtServerObjectBeta, but only the job information where the source machine name is equivalent to the name stored in the variable DtServerObjectAlpha is retrieved. That information is then stored in the variable DtJobForAlpha. The restoration options are stored in DtRestoreOptions, and then the ProcessOrphans option is set to true. Restoration is then started using the restoration options. The connections for the server object are then closed.
