Import PSReminder data from a JSON file.

SYNTAX

Import-PSReminderDatabase [-Path] <String> [-DatabasePath <String>] [-Comment <String>]
[-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

If you export a PSReminder database with the Export-PSReminderDatabase command, you can re-import it into a new or different SQLite database file with this command. Use this command to recreate a database from a backup or to move a database to a different location. The command will initialize a new database file and then import the data from the JSON file. You will get an error if the database file already exists.
