Recover rman backups to a new instance?

Hello!

i am a newbie at oracle and try to understand how i can manage the backups of my oracle db.

i think about the situation that the database or the server totally crashed and i have to complete reinstall oracle. What i have are all the backup files ( controlfile, spfile, the archive logs, redo logs and backup sets stored on an extra backup file server ).

Now when i create a new database instance i have the problem that this instance has a another dbid as the original database. And all backupfiles that rman made will be rejected.

So what are the steps when i want to recreate the database and restore all data from the backup files ( not to copy the tablespaces files directly )?

i am a little bit confused about these backups.

thanks for help
