There usually isn't enough information. If the poster gives sufficient and precise information, he's usually highly skilled and has enough of a toolkit to solve the problem himself. In this case, the OP could read utilities manual, Recovery Manager reference or Rob Freeman's wonderful RMAN book. He opted to post the question here instead. That should be sufficient to gage his knowledge.
