Hi All,
I'm a bit confused by this RMAN behaviour. I have a full backup and a level 1 
incremental a few days later. However if I restore (preview) it only attempts 
to use the level 1 (example below). Surely this is of no use without the 
preceeding full backup. What am I missing?
Thank you for any hints! (10.2.0.3 EE)
