If an original database host is damaged or destroyed, and you need to restore the data to a different host from the backup, you can restore to a database copy. You can also perform a database copy to restore the database to a new computer or SID.
Important: When you restore to a database copy, the following files are overwritten:
Log files
Data summary files
Detail files that have the same names as the files that you are restoring
If you use the most recent backup for the database copy, the software considers only the time from the most recent job that is available on the secondary copy, even when the primary copy or other copies have a more recent backup job.
