Anyone have a good guide for using RMAN duplicate when Archivelogs and Backups of the primary db are on a different server? Typically I copy the backups/archivelogs to the server where I'm going to be doing the duplicate but I know I saw somewhere recently where you didn't have to do that step and RMAN would know where to pull the backups and archivelogs from. I'm using 10.2.x if it matters.
