Re: Restoring DB from specific RMAN backup set.
As long as you haven't opened the database with resetlogs between the time of the backup you want and the present you can just restore it and recover, using backup controlfile, until cancel. If you have opened it with resetlogs, you will have to change the incarnation of the database, Consult the documentation and if that doesn't help, open a TAR,' HTH, Ruth - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 10:39 AM How can I restore a database from a specific RMAN backup set?

RE: Restoring DB from specific RMAN backup set.
Database is 9.0.1.4 running on Win2K. The database called DB2 is not running in archivelog mode. The database is being backed up using RMAN: I.e. set ORACLE_SID=DB2 rman target / catalog rman@otherdb shutdown immediate; startup mount; backup database format=f:\oracle_backup\%d\%d_%U tag full_backup; alter database open; I figured out what the problem was.

[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 IDCUR 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 DISK15-NOV-02 1 1 63 B F A DISK15-NOV-02 1 1 WORKFLOW_AND_PORTAL 306 B F A DISK23-NOV-02 1 1 314 B F A DISK23-NOV-02 1 1 404 B F A DISK26-NOV-02 1 1 FULL_BACKUP_9014_PATCH 413 B F A DISK26-NOV-02 1 1 729 B F A DISK11-DEC-02 1 1 FULL_DB_INSTALLED 749 B F A DISK11-DEC-02 1 1 791 B F A DISK18-DEC-02 1 1 WF_TESTING 811 B F A DISK18-DEC-02 1 1 867 B F A DISK19-DEC-02 1 1 SW_MIGRATION 888 B F A DISK19-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)?
