Re: Recovery question

HI, You have to copy only DATAFILES FROM YOUR BACKUP.( DO NOT COPY CONTROL FILE ) . Once copied, then

svrmgrl
connect internal
startup mount
set autorecovery on
recover database... ( This will bring your database in sink as if on the day it failed...
but please remember that you have to have all ARCHIVE_LOG FILES and redo_log_files as well..other wise you have to do INCOMPLETE RECOVERY )

Hope this Helps
