Backup taken from database that came up in unsafe mode

Hi Experts

Will a backup taken from database that came up in unsafe mode work properly if restored elsewhere. If so, will it include all data up to the last good epoch?

Thanks

backup in unsafe mode is a unsafe backup.

unsafe mode is not a stable mode in vertica and is only used for partial data recovery under support guidance. you cannot (should not) rely on such a backup
