Re: Restore question

Yes. Standard incomplete PITR of Datafile(s). Check the Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/toc.htm. Mount the database and start RMAN (connect to catalog if you have one - a current controlfile before the disaster works just as well - it has all the info). If you know the file(s) that were lost, restore those, then recover using the SET UNTIL clause. You'll have to open with resetlogs and immediately take a backup.
