11.5.2 Recovering configuration and service databases
Configuration and service databases must be synchronized with other databases. Hence, it is
recommended to recover configuration and service databases either along with content databases or
to the latest point in time (if content databases do not need recovery).
The configuration database contains hostnames of the farm's servers. Therefore, you can recover the
configuration database only to the original SharePoint farm. Service databases can be recovered to a
non-original farm.
