Restoring from Image-Level Backups

This section explains how to restore Oracle data from image-level backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication.

In case of latest state or point-in-time state restore, the behavior is as follows:

  • Data Guard configurations will be restored starting from the primary node, even if you launch the Restore wizard from a standby 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 databases from the backup files.

Note that restore from storage snapshots to the original Oracle server is not supported. To restore your Oracle data from storage snapshots, use the Restore to another server command.

Before restoring data, read the Considerations and Limitations section.
