Hi all,

I'm trying to do some tests with rman for backing up and restoring my database.

I just can't find how I can indicate that my backup file of my database files are on another location.

This is the scenario in short:
- I backup my database and autobackup my controlfile to directory
d:\restorePCa.
- I copy the files to my other pc, into directory e:\restorePCb.

I create the DB service using oradim (Windows 2000 environment)
I create the password file, and configure the necessary settings for TNS Listener and so on
Start the database not mounting
Set the DB id
Set the controlfile autobackup format (This will enable me to set the restore point)
Restore controlfiles and then I want to restore the database but I can't change the restore point (Backup file is on another disk, and I can't define the format like I did for the controlfile. If I try I keep heading against the error indicating the operation is not allowed with a backup controlfile.)

Any help will be more then greatly appreciated.

Thnx,
