There are three ways to restore from an Everpure snapshot or clone in this environment, ranging from a full in-place rollback to a clone on a separate cluster. Use the table below to pick the right option based on risk and use case.
| Option |
Use case |
Risk | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Full rollback after approved corruption or operational failure | Highest | Use only when the original volumes must be rolled back and a full production outage is accepted. |
|
Validation, controlled cutover, or storage swap | Medium | Use when source volumes must remain intact but the cluster can safely host only one database identity at a time. |
|
Dev/test refresh, reporting, validation, and DR exercises | Lowest | Preferred pattern for non-production and recovery validation. |
