As of AppSync versions 3.5 and later, a mounted and recovered Oracle database copy can be discovered on a mount host and then protected as if it were a production Oracle database instance. See the knowledge base article at https://support.emc.com/kb/501266 to understand the considerations and restrictions. If you do not have access to the article, contact customer support. We do not recommend creating repurposed copies from such databases.
