Dan I would recommend not using data protector to do the restore but instead control it directly from rman. You just need to setup the correct parameters in rman to access the tape system ( via data protector of course ).

#!/bin/ksh
. /u01/local/bin/.9isetenv
rman <<EOF
connect catalog ****/*****@rcatid
connect target ****/******@targetid
run { allocate channel t1 device type 'sbt_tape' parms'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,O
B2APPNAME=whatyouconfigured'; /* whatever rman commands you need */; release channel t1; }
EOF While you have to configure various things in omniback ( the barlist stuff etc ) I am not a big fan of doing backups or restores thru Data Protector. I prefer to drive everything thru rman itself. Just my opinion.
