These are the steps indeed, but you don't have to perform them manually, RMAN will take care of them when you execute a single set of commands like:
...
restore database;
recover database;
...

RMAN will choose the backup pieces automatically. Incremental backup is nothing to be feared ;) (with currently supported Oracle versions at least.) Received on Tue Sep 18 2007 - 06:35:34 CDT
