Read Metalink Note : 209214.1 *How To Restore From An Old Backupset Using
RMAN?*

If you dont have access, do the following.

From RMAN, run LIST BACKUP

Temporarly, make the all recent backupsets to UNAVAILABLE:

RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET <number> UNAVAILABLE;

Now, you need to make sure the required data backupset are AVAILABLE

RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET <oldbackpsetnumber> AVAILABLE;

Use the SET CLAUSE
run
{
SET UNTIL TIME "to_date(' required date')
restore database;
recover database;
}

Hi List,

I am using RMAN to duplicate our live DB to another identical machine.
Full On-line backups are taken 5 days a week (file is 25Gb on disk), each
one includes *all* archive logs.

I have been asked to see if we can use a different nights backup for the
duplication process, other than the last backup taken.  I can't find
anything on MetaLink and Rob Freemans book only mentions that Duplicate uses
the last good backup.

Is this possible?? If so how?


*Specs:*
*Oracle: 9.2.0.4 64-bit*
*O/S:    Solaris 2.8*


Many thanks
