Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Restoring an Oracle Database

Restore, Recovery, and Duplicate OptionsRestore Action Options

The following describes each of the options in the Source page. This page is used to define the combination of restore and recovery you would like to perform using the GUI.

In the context of Data Protector “restore” means to restore the datafiles. Users can select which database, tablespace, or datafiles they would like to restore and up to which point in time they would like them to be restored. “Recover” means applying the redo logs. The user can select which redo logs to apply according to SCN number, logseq, or can apply all the redo logs to the time of the last backup.
