+  The directory to read persisted state (or container name if using an object store).
+* `--persistenceLocation` <source persistence location>
+  The location spec for an object store to read persisted state.
+* `--destinationDir` <target persistence dir>
+  The directory to copy persistence data to, with orphaned state removed.
+* `--destinationLocation` <target persistence location>
