1. The Data Domain system writes the backup image to the encapsulated storage
device, making it available on the primary storage array.
2. The Application Administrator creates a SnapVX snapshot of the encapsulated
storage device and performs a link copy to the primary storage device, overwriting
the existing data on the primary storage.
3. The restored data is presented to the Application Host.
The following image shows a full database recovery to product devices workflow. The
workflow is the same as a full-application rollback restoration with the difference
being the link copy targets.
