I am curious as to why you thought it was OK to proceed when the
archive log restore failed?

It would have  been a good idea to retry restoring the archive logs
rather than proceeding with the recovery.  But then, hindsight is
often 20/20.

You should examine the logs of your backup software to find why
the restore failed.  One hopes that you have more than one backup
of your archive logs.

My advice would be to run the restore again. If it fails, find out why
it failed.  The consequences of this problem are more far reaching
than just restoring a database to test.
