Jerome - I wouldn't do it. In a recovery situation I want everything to be as simple as possible. When RMAN wants a file, I want to be able to give it exactly the file it wants and not have to worry about whether I should give it the file from yesterday or the day before.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 4:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Has anybody tried using the same backup filename on RMAN? So if you use xxx.dmp on Monday,move this file to tape then reuse the same filename for the Tuesday dump. I think as long as the file is not on disk then RMAN accepts the filename. Does anyone know if there are complications when it comes to doing restores?
