function Restore-DbaFromDatabaseSnapshot {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Restores databases from snapshots
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Restores the database from the snapshot, discarding every modification made to the database
            NB: Restoring to a snapshot will result in every other snapshot of the same database to be dropped
            It also fixes some long-standing bugs in SQL Server when restoring from snapshots
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The SQL Server that you're connecting to
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            Restores from the last snapshot databases with this names only. You can pass either Databases or Snapshots
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
 
        .PARAMETER Snapshot
            Restores databases from snapshots with this names only. You can pass either Databases or Snapshots
 
        .PARAMETER Force
            If restoring from a snapshot involves dropping any other shapshot, you need to explicitly
            use -Force to let this command delete the ones not involved in the restore process.
            Also, -Force will forcibly kill all running queries that prevent the restore process.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            Shows what would happen if the command were to run
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            Prompts for confirmation of every step.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

        .EXAMPLE
            Restore-DbaFromDatabaseSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR, Accounting
 
            Restores HR and Accounting databases using the latest snapshot available
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Restore-DbaFromDatabaseSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR -Force
 
            Restores HR database from latest snapshot and kills any active connections in the database on sqlserver2014a.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Restore-DbaFromDatabaseSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Snapshot HR_snap_20161201, Accounting_snap_20161101
 
            Restores databases from snapshots named HR_snap_20161201 and Accounting_snap_20161101
