I agree upon what Andy has stated that the DR site should not be
similar but exact in terms of Naming Context of Org / AG / Server
Name. With regards to your question
"I dont have the log files with me. I actually tried, it did not
work" - understand that if u have a "information store" level backup,
you can mount your stores by replaying the "restored" log files,
however the data that arrived "after" you took the backup in your
"original" production store "can only" be retrieved with the help of
"original" log files. For further clarification refer to docs.

Re: Exchange database recovery without log file
You can restore to alternate server in different forest with different
hostname. Some parameters and settings must be same; Exchange org
name; patch level; file patchs etc. Use the articles below.

That will work yes, but the problem is that in a real DR scenario,
mistakes will happen and keeping it simple is key.
I would recommend a copy of the production AD in a DR site and then
follow:

"How to Move Exchange Server 2003 to New Hardware and Keep the Same
Server Name"
It's remarkably simple!
