1. A computing system comprising: a source database system comprising N hosts and a first plurality of servers, where N is an integer greater than one, the source database system comprising: a first memory storing first processor-executable program code; and a first processor to execute the first processor-executable program code in order to cause the source database system to: create a backup of the source database system; and a target database system comprising M hosts, where M is an integer less than N, the target database system comprising: a second memory storing second processor-executable program code; and a second processor to execute the second processor-executable program code in order to cause the target database system to: configure the target database system to include the first plurality of servers; and perform a database recovery of the target database system using the backup of the source database system.
