Powershell : Resotre a site collection from backup

How to restore SharePoint 2013 / 2016/ 2019 site collection from site backup

Scenario

Recently for a vendor based revamped project, vendor provided us site backup instead to restore on our Dev / QA environment. To quickly restore a site collection with SharePoint 2013 / 2016 / 2019 environment from site backup I used following power shell command.

Restore-SPSite -Identity "http://SharePoint/site/"-Path C:\Vendor_SiteBackup\v2.0\SomeBackupname.bak -Force

Here -force optional parameter will be used to overwrite existing site collection where we want to restore our site backup
