Hello Wayne, I've checked in docs - with "restore database validate check logical" RMAN checks for physical and logical corruption. I thought that "restore database validate check logical" checks only logical block corruption. To check physical corruption also I added "restore database validate". I suppose that "restore database validate check logical" should be enough for validation.
