Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for the details! Much appreciated!
Best Regards,

Obviously, it depends on what needs to be restored - one datafile, a couple
of them, or all of them. The level-0 backup of 13Tb is approaching 24
hours, so that should provide perspective.
However, just by sheer odds based on space consumption, it is the READ ONLY tablespaces (which only need to be restored, not recovered) that are most likely to get "hit" by some failure. The odds of having to restore and recover the entire 35Tb at once is pretty slim, and at that point, you have to compare the cost of possibly having to restore/recover 35Tb against the benefits of having the 35Tb at all. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of throwing some of it away on purpose? And, would it be necessary to have a complete service outage for the entire restore/recover operation, or can some of the database (i.e. tablespaces with "newer" data) be up and running while the rest of the database is restored and recovered?
Nice thing about RMAN is that mistakes on restore are fewer and more accurate...
