What happens if you have to re-destribute file locations during the DUPLICATE TARGET.
For example: not the same file systems in the AUXILIARY, have to move files to other?

IOW: is the full flexibility of the DUPLICATE command and extra settings with an FRA still available?

And are redo logs also being archived directly to tape?

Lost system, need to recover to DR site with different file system configuration.
How does the interaction between control files, data and archived redo log files happen from tape? Is it possible to PITR without any hassles?

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
