Disaster Recovery for SAP PI 7.0

Hi Guys,

We want to set up a DR server for a SAP PI 7.0 live environment. By taking an image of the database will ensure us that all the objects of the PI live environment will be copied to the new database, i.e. SLD, IR, ID objects, or do we need to follow the export-import process on the new PI server that has to be configured from the beginning?

Thank you.
