Organization: Fat City Network Services, San Diego, California X-ListServer: v1.0g, build 72; ListGuru (c) 1996-2001 Bruce A. Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In theory you should always be able to do an Incomplete Recovery [until the latest archive log you have available] provided that no database file was still in backup mode till a point in time after the last archive log. How do you backup your tablespaces ? Which archive logs are included in your D.R. backups ? You must have all the archive logs generated till the last END BACKUP command of that database backup set. Else, you'd have to restore an _OLDER_ backup set and do an incomplete recovery.
