If all of the datafiles you restoring are in 1 tablespace you can do a tablespace restore/recovery. How ever, if there are some datafiles in the tablespace that are not included in the backup, I think you will not be able to do a tablespace restore.
HTH, Ruth ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 7:05 AM We perform disk-to-disk offline backups on a nighlty basis. Database is running in archived log mode. Due to space contraints (don't ask =:-[ ) we are currently forced to backup only some of the data files. The data files excluded belong to specific schema owners and are not being updated, or so I'm informed =:-0. I'm trying to get my head around what the recovery implications are if some of the data files not backed up have being updated and a recovery is required?. I expect it depends on what the recovery scenario is. So whats worst case scenario and what would my options, if any be?.
