I don't believe I can safely subtract one from the SCN and expect it to be in an existing log - and I get the same error as with the higher number Oracle Error: ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below ORA-01152: file 3 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup ORA-01110: data file 3: '/data/oracle/TESTDBE30/u01/sysaux01.dbf' Now that error doesn't make sense, as the file 3 has a higher SCN than 1 or 2 ...

I'm doing a "backup database incremental level zero plus archivelog" I've shown an output from the "list backup" at the bottom of the email. What I want to do is run { set until scn XXX duplicate target database to TESTDBE30; } Where XXX is the last SCN in the backup. How do I find this? rc_backup_archivelog_details will tell me the next_change# of the archivelog - but that isn't the last SCN in the current file is it?
