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_at_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. After I restored the controlfile from the autobackup file I was not mounting the database before doing a database restore.

Thanks.

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

   Which Oracle version?

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:

The backup summary list looks like:

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)?

Thanks.
