Re: Restore RMAN backup from another location

Yea I was doing it with Windows and I did end up mapping the drives. I asked the guys to partition the disk or even add more disks so I can get E and F drive, they didnt do it, I had to partition myself and I found out no free disk space to get a F drive!

However I thought there must be some way in RMAN to do this.... :-S

Cheers
