How restore and recovery works [message #482349]

Hello

I was able to restore a live database to another database. But i have no idea how it got restored.

i had copied all the incremental backups on to the new database flash recovery folder.

The issue is that i didnt know which files to copy so i copied all the backups found on the live database. And i found that it was restoring from backups dated 09/11/2010.. why not from the latest INcremental 0 followed by its Incremental 1..

Does it depend on the controlfile and spfile i restored.

Can anyone please help me on that.

There is an example on how to restore in another server.

When i did

SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;

MAX(SEQUENCE#)
--------------
1036

But i need now to apply all the archived logs found in the Archived destination.

Should the database be using a standby control file...

......Help

You should follow the detailed process Restore and Recovery of the Database on a New Host explained in the links that Michel posted above.

Standby control files are for standby databases.
