I will tell you what I've figured out. Perhaps someone else can
provide additional information.
1. Some people have reported success in extracting the control file from the
RMAN backup. I got stuck on the issue that RMAN wouldn't function unless the
target instance was up with STARTUP MOUNT, but I couldn't mount the database
until I had a control file to mount. I finally gave up and took the
expedient of doing a separate SQL BACKUP CONTROLFILE statement, using the
RMAN backup directory. To perform a disaster recovery, I just move my copy
of the control file into position first.
2. I have not been able to convince RMAN to use a different backup location.
Fortunately with Unix it is easy to create a link that looks like the
original location.

Hi there everyone,
I have read the documentation and I am missing something, I am stuck on two
points:
(1) How do I recover from a RMAN backup to disk if I have lost all the
original database files (control files, data files and redo logs)
(2) How do I change the location for RMAN to check for the backup up file
i.e. Backup file was on E: but now in F:, when I enter restore it only
checks the original location.
Specifications:
Oracle 8.1.7.4.10
Windows 2000 SP4
I know that in the backup part I can use the FORMAT string to specify the
filename and location.
Cheers
Tim Clarkson
