HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Concepts guide (March 2008)

the replica are restored directly to their original locations. Because the restore is
performed internally within the array, it runs at very high speed.
Once the restore is completed, the sections of the database/filesystem concerned
are returned to their states at the time the replica was created and the application
system can be re-enabled.
Depending on the application/database concerned, this may be all that is required.
In some cases, additional action is required for full recovery, such as applying
archived transaction log files that have been backed up separately using third–party
backup software.
For more details, see “Instant recovery” on page 55.
NOTE:
Replicas can be used for purposes other than ZDB+IR, such as data mining. Although
Application Recovery Manager can create and administer replicas for such purposes,
replicas intended for instant recovery should only be used for instant recovery. Otherwise,
accurate restore of data cannot be guaranteed.
