Restoring Latest or Point-in-Time State

This section explains how to select a state as of which to restore Oracle databases or Data Guard, including a point-in-time restore — to revert the database to a state before an undesired transaction or before a point of failure.

The behavior in case of a latest or point-in-time state restore is as follows:

• Data Guard will be restored starting from the primary node. Once the primary node is restored, Veeam Explorer for Oracle will use it to restore standby nodes.
• Database files will be copied to the original location and then mounted to the original Oracle Home.
• Databases from the backed up ASM group will be restored back to the original ASM group.

• All existing databases on the target Oracle server will be replaced with that of the backup file.

Consider that restoring a latest or point-in-time state to the original Oracle server from storage snapshots is not supported. Use the Restore to another server command, as described in Restoring Database and Data Guard.
