Rename the datafiles with with .bak so you can restore easily if you lose it.

Just create a tablespace, with datafile...rename it and restore..same Idea but less carbs.

I have RMAN backups of a production Win 2000 database. I want to test recovery of this database on a different Win 2000 server.

How do I prepare the server so that I can startup nomount the instance that I will use for recovery? Knowing that each instance requires a Windows service, I used the DBCA to create a new database (and instance); my thought was to shut it down, blow away the db files, and begin my recovery. Is there another way?

Thanks,

Paul Baumgartel
