AK Since extracting the controlfile from your backup seems to be your major issue, perhaps someone on this list that mastered that issue will reply -- how about it? You could also Google for Oracle-L and RMAN, you might find where they posted it. 8i? Check Appendix C of Freeman's book. The man thinks of everything.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 2:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L More Info : OS : HP-UX oracle :8.1.7.4. Dennis , We are using controlfile and not recov catalog. Now Since I am on 8.1.7.4 , no different then you. If I dont have a explicit control file backup then finding SNCF ( snapshot control file ) is another way . Since we have a file system backup which any way takes whole backup of file system , it should have SNCF included in it , BUTTTTT that file system backup runs before rman backup . ( I am not the one who did all this .. just looking at some one els's work ). Yes, I can restore to same path , so no problem with renaming files in rman restore. oyaa i do have free(man)'s guide but that's for 9i .
