Do you have a guide or a link to how to do this? I have only ever done this 
with RMAN.

Josh,

not only one TS,
but SYSTEM, UNDO and the particular TS ( + redos) should be possible to bring 
your auxiliary DB up (setting all other datafiles offline).
These should be small enough.

Am I missing anything?

Martin



All,

I am not convinced this is possible. I have a consistent cold backup, however 
it is very large and I don't have the space to copy the entire thing to a dev 
box. Is it possible to restore only one tablespace from this cold backup to an 
auxiliary database? This is not RMAN. It's a traditional cold backup.

Thanks for your time,

Josh C.
