Paul - Can you specify what you mean by "no archive log mode" and "backed up with RMAN"? Was the database open? Which Oracle version?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 9:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L How can I restore a database from a specific RMAN backup set? We have a database running in no archive log mode that is backed up with RMAN. There is an RMAN catalog DB also. If I look at the backup summary I see: List of Database Incarnations DB Key Inc Key DB Name DB ID CUR Reset SCN Reset Time ------- ------- -------- ---------------- --- ---------- ---------- 37 38 DB2 1600772452 NO 1 15-NOV-02 37 256 DB2 1600772452 NO 259591 23-NOV-02 37 627 DB2 1600772452 NO 792890 11-DEC-02 37 654 DB2 1600772452 NO 792890 11-DEC-02 37 712 DB2 1600772452 NO 792890 11-DEC-02 37 680 DB2 1600772452 NO 792890 11-DEC-02 37 764 DB2 1600772452 NO 823456 11-DEC-02 37 816 DB2 1600772452 YES 823456 18-DEC-02 37 893 DB2 1600772452 NO 823456 19-DEC-02 The backup summary list looks like: List of Backups =============== Key TY LV S Device Type Completion Time #Pieces #Copies Tag ------- -- -- - ----------- --------------- ------- ------- --- 47 B F A DISK 15-NOV-02 1 1 63 B F A DISK 15-NOV-02 1 1 WORKFLOW_AND_PORTAL 306 B F A DISK 23-NOV-02 1 1 314 B F A DISK 23-NOV-02 1 1 404 B F A DISK 26-NOV-02 1 1 FULL_BACKUP_9014_PATCH 413 B F A DISK 26-NOV-02 1 1 729 B F A DISK 11-DEC-02 1 1 FULL_DB_INSTALLED 749 B F A DISK 11-DEC-02 1 1 791 B F A DISK 18-DEC-02 1 1 WF_TESTING 811 B F A DISK 18-DEC-02 1 1 867 B F A DISK 19-DEC-02 1 1 SW_MIGRATION 888 B F A DISK 19-DEC-02 1 1 I've tried resetting the database to incarnation 816, but when I restore the control file and data files from that it is not what I think it should be. I end up with FULL_DB_INSTALLED. I can restore the control file I want from the auto backup file. How can I then tell RMAN to restore the data files associated with either backup set 791 (tag=WF_TESTING)?
