RE: Rman restore from backup on disk

I might be missing something here. When I duplicate if connect to a live running database.  

Rman target sys/<p>@source auxiliary / trace tracefile.lis  

I don't connect to the source if I am restoring (duplicating), from a backup....

Joel,  

By setting the "set until time" and using "duplicate database" you are effectively restoring the RMAN backup to another database name.  

Yes, both the backup itself and the archive log backups necessary need to be available on the server you're restoring to.

Can I restore a database from and RMAN backup on disk to new (different) database name?

If so how, is it analogous to duplicate? Restore database to newname?

Do archive have to be in the previous locations also?
