Hi all
If I want to restore my database ( for example from yesterday), do

it needs to do in this regard?
Once a DB or Recovery Log volume has been formatted, it remains
formatted. Any subsequent restoral can then use the volume as-is.
Raw Logical Volumes have no formatting requirement, so are a
generally attractive choice, particularly for DR situations, where
time matters.
