Getting Started - Oracle Restore

Perform a Restore

As restoring your backup data is very crucial, it is recommended that you perform a restore operation immediately after your first full backup to understand the process.

The following sections explain the steps for restoring a database.

  • Right-click the <storage policy> and click Properties.
  • Click the Copy Precedence tab.

    You can also use a different copy for performing the operation. For the copy that you want to use, set the copy precedence as 1.
