We're on windooze using a catalog but I believe the catalog or lack thereof
makes no matter in this instance
 
For example, normally we create backupsets on f:\oracle\backups on
Production server. When we do disaster recovery
testing we ensure that a f:\oracle\backups directory exists on the restore
server and then copy the backup sets to that
location on the restore server . From there on the restore server I can
issue restore database and the catalog knows to look
in f:\oracle\backups for the backups sets and then to initiate the restore

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the reply.. I am still not clear.. will it read it from HOST_A ?
What if i have already backed up using RMAN but for recovery don't have the
catalog.

Say : Backuped up HOST_A database using RMAN to DISK1.

Now when I restore without catalog.. will it read from DISK1 or HOST_A ?

Well, if i duplicate the database using RMAN.. it should read from HOST_A
directly.

Thanks agian.

NIk
