About restore of Oracle databases



Two personas are involved in restoring a database backed up using Druva:
- The administrator: The administrator runs a restore job on the Hybrid Workloads 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.
