Restoring a Source Database Keeping CDC Data
When restoring a SQL Server database that has been enabled with CDC and you want to
keep the existing CDC staging data that has already accumulated in the database, as well
as the CDC settings, you must specify the KEEP_CDC
option with the
RESTORE
statement.
This requirement is only if restoring the database to a new instance, or to the same instance but with a different database name. If you are restoring the original database on the instance, then the option is not required.
For further requirements and understanding, review the following document link from Microsoft:
Additionally, you must manually recreate the CDC Capture job and the Oracle GoldenGate CDC Cleanup job.
