This should be a simple clone and I have done it a million times. However, finding the space and cloning a 200+Gb with over 188 files is difficult especially when you don't have the space readily available to clone to. So here I am exhausted trying to bring a database open after incomplete recovery. I have checked and double-checked that I have done a begin backup...cp,,,end backup on each datafile, have a controlfile and database in mounted stated, have all the logs - in fact, apply logs that I know were created far after the backup. mounted database recover database using backup controlfile until cancel endless applying of archive logs I cannot open the database with resetlogs. I cannot open it at all. I am getting that error that not all my files are in-synch. sigh. Any good ideas out there - maybe I just need another set of eyes. :) Thanks, Paula Version 8.1.7.4 ------------------------------ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
