Jaffar,  

Why do you need to mark the backupsets as unavailable? Won't the "set until" clause work correctly?

Read Metalink Note : 209214.1 How To Restore From An Old Backupset Using RMAN?   If you dont have access, do the following.  

From RMAN, run LIST BACKUP  

Temporarly, make the all recent backupsets to UNAVAILABLE:  

RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET <number> UNAVAILABLE;  

Now, you need to make sure the required data backupset are AVAILABLE  

RMAN> CHANGE BACKUPSET <oldbackpsetnumber> AVAILABLE;  

Use the SET CLAUSE

run

{

SET UNTIL TIME "to_date(' required date')

restore database;

recover database;

}

Hi List,  

I am using RMAN to duplicate our live DB to another identical machine. Full On-line backups are taken 5 days a week (file is 25Gb on disk), each one includes *all* archive logs.  

I have been asked to see if we can use a different nights backup for the duplication process, other than the last backup taken. I can't find anything on MetaLink and Rob Freemans book only mentions that Duplicate uses the last good backup.  

Is this possible?? If so how?    

Specs:

Oracle: 9.2.0.4 <http://9.2.0.4/> 64-bit

O/S: Solaris 2.8    

Many thanks
