Restore site collection using powershell : Getting not found error

Question

Restore-SPSite -Identity http:/snk145:60000/ -Path "D:/MS.bak"

I am trying to restore a site collection (SharePoint 2010) to other from a backup file,

The term 'Restore-SPSite' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:15
+ Restore-SPSite <<<<  -Identity http:/snk145:60000/ -Path "D:/MS.bak"
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Restore-SPSite:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

What Should I do?

UPDATE

As Alex said, got the command worked, however getting another error as follows

Restore-SPSite -Identity http:/snk145:60000/ -Path "D:/MS.bak"

Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation "Restore-SPSite" on Target "http:/son1834:60000/".
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"):

   riFormatException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletRestoreSite

What next?

Is it because of the forward slash? Replace it with backslash in the path -'D:\MS.bak' and retry. — Deepu Nair

Use Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell command before your script.

Check whether you are using the Windows PowerShell instead of the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. I would suggest you to run the CMDLet from the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell from the server where SharePoint 2010 is installed.

Check also the path you have entered - 'D:/MS.bak' . Shouldn't that be 'D:\MS.bak' with a backslash?
