To perform a database resurrection, you may use Assure MIMIX for AIX's production restore operation to recover an image of the actual production database to some point in the past directly on the production disk itself (not a snapshot image of the data).
In the resurrection scenario, the database is crashed and will not be coming back up. If you need to rollback to 55 seconds, you do not need to restore last day’s full backup and replay a full week of database redo (roll forward) logs. In this case, Assure MIMIX for AIX can rollback a totally crashed and burned database in a matter of moments—many orders of magnitude faster.
Keep in mind that during a production restore, you do not need the database instance up. In fact, the database cannot be up while Assure MIMIX for AIX rolls its image around on disk. By definition, the database is down since it crashed. As a result, the best and fastest way to restore your database is while it is still down. The Assure MIMIX for AIX production restore operation provides this capability.
