I am using RMan with and without the Catalog...

 if the Catalog goes down..my backups and restores just

switch to Nocatalog mode and keep on ticking..

My goal is to restore/recovery just a backup that resides on tape rather than accessing the Disk copies...

 I guess that Rman at least with the Catalog knows of both...

 What would the command be to only recover using the tape media

 backups...????

 I think Rman doesn't directly give you that option(RTM)... so I was wondering
 if somebody knew a work around to Force RMAN and the Catalog to only  recover from the Tape backups.

Brian - I couldn't figure out what you are asking. First of all, are you intending to use RMAN with a catalog? Are you wanting to distinguish the backups for a report or on recovery. I think that RMAN will record all the backups you have performed and will want to use the most recent backup for recovery. If it is just a report, you could use the "TAG" parameter when you perform backups so the disk backups and tape backups could easily be listed differently.

 Anybody doing Rman Disk and MML tape backups ?

 Do you know how to force Rman just look at tape backups?  (please no change the directory on disk answers.. just   lookin to see if I can automate it at the command level.)
