Supports using XCAT_SKIPTABLES env variable to provide a list of skip tables.
The command will never backup TEAL or ISNM tables, except isnm_config. To dump TEAL tables use the documented process for TEAL. For ISNM use tabdump, after using tabprune to get to prune unnecessary records.

If not using binary restore(-b), the restorexCATdb command restores the xCAT database tables from the *.csv files in directory given by the -p flag. The site table skiptables attribute can be set to a list of tables not to restore. It will not restore isnm_perf* tables. See man dumpxCATdb.
If using the binary restore option for DB2, the entire database is restored from the binary backup made with dumpxCATdb. The database will be restored using DB2 Utilities. The timestamp of the correct DB2 backup file (-t) must be provided.
If using the binary restore option for DB2 or postgreSQL, the entire database is restored from the binary backup made with dumpxCATdb. The database will be restored using the database Utilities. For DB2, the timestamp of the correct DB2 backup file (-t) must be provided.
All applications accessing the DB2 database must be stopped before you can use the binary restore options. See the xCAT DB2 document for more information.
For postgreSQL, you do not have to stop the applications accessing the database and the complete path to the backup file, must be supplied on the -p flag.
