Yes, you are right , we could play with the SYMLINK or I could tell RMAN to look from a different location.

Actually I am so confused about the whole process (like which controlfile should I use)?

Last night, I did call my work's consultant, and he told me.. in high-level.
So I need to narrow down to the EXACT syntax to tell RMAN to look somewhere else.

Thank you for your help, you always answerm my question, I do appreciate that.
