Dear List,

I have a database 'rtest' and catalog database 'rcat' on machine: A and Iam taking regular RMAN TAPE backups of 'rtest' database using the catalog database 'rcat'.
I need to restore the latest RMAN tape backup of 'rtest' database onto another brand new box: B.
Is there a way to restore other than using the "duplicate database feature" ??????

I need to use RMAN backup only in order to restore onto Machine B. Copying the datafiles on to tape and retoring on to machine B is not feasible (as the original database I would like to restore ultimately is a very large production database and downtime is not acceptable). I have already setup access to RMAN backups from HOST B using netbackup.

Please suggest me a simplified solution for restoring RMAN backups on to a different host.

Thanks,
-- Babu
