An Oracle database can be reverted to an earlier state from a Block based snapshot or clone. Crash consistent snapshots cannot be reverted.

Note: Revert overwrites the original database and destroys all data in that database as a result.

Note: When a single backup contains data of multiple databases, reverting to the backup will corrupt all databases except the one which was selected for the backup and revert. Refer to the list of Supported configurations and the Application software prerequisites to avoid this situation.

Click Restore on the Sidebar.
Click the Hitachi Block button in the Restore Dashboard.
The Block Restore Inventory is displayed, but no results are initially shown.
Ensure the search criteria are displayed by clicking Show Search.
Enter the required search criteria to find the desired snapshots and replications, then click Search.
All snapshots and replications meeting the search criteria will be displayed.
Select the snapshot or replication to be used to revert from.
Click Revert.
The Revert Wizard - Configure Oracle Recovery Options of the Block Snapshot Revert Wizard are displayed.
Select the Oracle database Recovery Options, then click Next.
The Confirm Revert page is displayed.
To ensure the user does not accidentally perform a revert, the text REVERT must be typed in uppercase prior to clicking Finish.
The database is shutdown and the reversion process is performed.
Once reversion is complete, the database must be restarted manually by the database administrator who will need to choose how to recover the database (point-in-time, last known point, etc.).
