Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Restore on another machine with RMAN
Luc - You don't mention which platform you are on (NT or Unix), and since
you are discussing file locations, that is a relevant issue.
If you are on Unix, I would recommend that you create a mount point that matches the backup location on your production machine. That will eliminate an issue for RMAN. I vaguely recall an RMAN command to change the backup location, so you might look for that. If you take the suggestion someone else provided and use a catalog, then you could try changing the backup location in the RMAN catalog database tables.
Good luck and please report any success you achieve. I'm still trying to perform a disaster recovery test with our RMAN backups. We can't cease operating system backups until I complete that test. As you have discovered, there appear to be a number of obstacles.
Robert - are you listening? Another chapter idea for your book.

Hi gurus,
I'm in process of testing our backup strategies. We are using RMAN, but for our prod database we aren't using the recovery catalog.
Our backup's files are on disk, so I transfered them on another machine. I recovered the controlfile, I mounted the database, but when RMAN tried to restore it looks for the original location where RMAN created the backup.
How can indicate the new location of the backup's files ?
TIA
Luc
