Is the following correct? If not, what should it be?

Suppose drive C: has the database db.gdb and drive D: has the shadow db.shd.

Suppose drive C: dies and is replaced and all software is installed anew.

In order to continue using the database one can in sequence:

1. activate the shadow with gfix -a db.shd;
2. rename db.shd to db.gdb;
3. move db.gdb to the C: drive for use;
4. create a new shadow on db.gdb.

Does step 4 copy the current database to the new shadow so that they are duplicates?

If not, what does one do to ensure the new shadow can be used as the main database should
C: drive die again?
