Restore from Backup Copy

You can restore from backups and backup copies. To restore from backup copies, you must enable the restore from backup copy option in the Veeam Plug-in wizard.

If the restore from backup copy option is enabled, you cannot back up databases using Veeam Plug-in, and you cannot restore from backups created by primary Veeam Plug-in backup jobs. You can restore only from backup copy files until you disable the restore from backup copy option.

Important

Mind the following:

You can restore from Veeam Plug-in backups using Veeam Explorer for Oracle, even if the restore from backup copy option is enabled. For details, see Veeam Explorers User Guide.
You can restore only from backup copies that are located in repositories with primary backups. If you do not have access to repositories with primary backups, you can convert a backup copy to a primary backup. For details, see Converting Backup Copy to Backup.
If you want to restore from a backup copy to another server, see Restore from Backup Copy to Another Server.
