Note If you use the Oracle online backup method, you must also backup all the archived log files
in order to do a complete restore and recovery of the database.
Restoring from Backup
Backup copies are used to restore volumes lost due to disk failure, or data destroyed due to human
error. If a volume’s data is corrupted and you know that you need to restore it from backup, you can
use Database FlashSnap’s reverse resynchronization function to restore the database. See
Resynchronizing Your Database to the Snapshot” on page 254 for more information.
