Hi all;

we have a client using veeam to do vmware snapshots of the db servers,
unfortunately as far as I can tell any restore of a veeam snapshot also
restores the state, which means the db gets restored in an online state.
As far as I know, once the db is online we cannot force it back into
recovery mode to do a PITR recovery, correct?

Anyone know of a way to do PITR recoveries with veeam?

Thanks in advance
