Two personas are involved in restoring a database backed up using Druva:

The administrator: The administrator runs a restore job on the Management Console. After the restore job completes, the recovery point is downloaded as an Oracle RMAN backup on a location of the selected Phoenix Backup Store.
Oracle Database Administrator: The Database Administrator runs RMAN commands that fetch backup data from the Phoenix Backup Store and restore the database on the Oracle instance.

Oracle Database Restore Workflow

Step	Operations
Step 1	The administrator selects a recovery point and initiates a restore.
Step 2	The administrator can restore a recovery point to the original Phoenix Backup Store or an alternate Phoenix Backup Store.
Step 3	The recovery point is unpacked and downloaded as an Oracle RMAN backup to a location on the Phoenix Backup Store. The Oracle RMAN backup download location on the Phoenix Backup Store is /mnt/restores/<backupmount_name>/<restore_job_id>/data where: The mount-name is the name of the mount you selected to restore. Job id is the ID of the restore job. You can get the job ID from the jobs page.
Step 4	The recovery point location is mapped to the RMAN host so that RMAN can use data stored on it to restore databases to the Oracle instance.
Step 5	The Database Administrator restores the Oracle RMAN backup to the Oracle instance.
