When performing restore Veeam Explorer follows the following steps: 1. Oracle instance/database discovery is performed and information is collected, that includes path validation and disk space availability checks. 2. VM disks are mounted. 3. Target database is shut down and dropped, configuration is cleaned (configuration and temporary instance files). 4. Database is started from the temporary location, if that fails another restore attempt is performed with safe set of parameters. 5. After successful test start from temporary location database is restored to proper location using automatically generated RMAN script. 6. Restore control files are restored after that. Database is updated to specific transaction prior to that in case point in time was selected for restore. 7. Fast Recovery Area parameters are restored and database is upgraded accordingly if restoring 32-bit instance to 64-bit. 8. To finalize restore mounted backup is removed from RMAN repository, restored database is restarted and new DB ID is generated. Remaining bits of the configuration are restored as well - parameter file is restored to proper path along with password file, DBNAME is changed if needed, logs are reset and online logs are recreated.
