Hi Tom,
This was a "restore validate database" rather than a "real" restore. So the
database was intact and operational.
I'm curious now as to what a restore validate actually does - obviously it
needs to assume that some sort of restore action is needed otherwise it would
never do anything except report the database already being intact and
consistent. Does it assume a loss of all the files? I can't see where this is
explained in the manual but I may have just missed it.
Thanks
Charlotte

Subject: RE: RMAN Restore with Incremental
Charlotte,
In your specific case, the incremental gets used with the database files
that are on disk. You did not say what happened to your database that
made you decide to perform a restore. But Rman decided that it had
enough information with the files on disk and with just the incremental
backup to perform a recovery.
Again, Rman decided that it did not need to go farther back to the full
backup to perform your restore - it just did not need that information.
What made you decide to perform a restore? What specifically happened?
Tom
