RHEL 3.0
9.2.0.4
Hi,
Just running through recover scenarios so that i can fully document all eventualities. Each night i take full backups using RMAN and the current control file is included in this backup. I can use this backup to restore an instance to a completely new machine as long as i have the control files from the asource database.
Is it possible to restore an instance using just a full RMAN backup that contains the current control file from the db when it was backed up?
If i have access to the control files then i can recover quite simply using something along the lines of
sql > startup mount
rman > run {
allocate channel dev1 type disk;
restore database
release channel dev1;
}
sql > alter database open resetlogs
but this does not work if i don't the control file
thanks
