Perform a SAP for Oracle database copy when the original database host has been damaged or destroyed, and you need to restore the data to a different host from the backup. You can also run a data copy operation to restore the database to a new computer or SID.
Note: The existing log and data summary files are overwritten. Detail files that have the same name as the ones you are restoring are overwritten.
After the restore, you can recover the database to a point other than the current time, if the current database is inconsistent.
When you choose the option to recover from the latest backup time with a secondary copy, the software considers only the time from the latest job that is available on the secondary copy, even when the primary copy or other copies have a more recent backup job.
