Restore without Deduplication Database (DDB)?

My understanding is that the deduplication database is not used in a restore scenario.  Many years ago, I ran a restore without a DDB or IndexCache.  It had to rebuild the IndexCache as it went, and was terribly slow, but it worked.  I found some posts on here saying the same.

Is there any official Commvault documentation that states this explicitly?

Thank you!
