It was going so well. The problem is a chunk of missing archived logs, so I'm unable to apply them. :-(

Which is, unfortunately, the point I can't get to. System data file needs additional recovery.

All files are online at the same SCN, date & Time according to v$datafile_header. All files are still in "RECOVERY" status according to V$RECOVER_FILE. I have the rman backup and the backup of all the archived logs from before, through and just after the backup of the datafiles.

Well, I did have. I've blown them all away now and restarted the rman backup. Better luck this time I hope!

Cheers,
Norman.
