By path I would assume since we are talking windows to the same drive
letter and folder correct? I have one other question also. If I want
to practice restore functions in RMAN can I use those same backup
files and restore to a new server and will that restore change any of
my backups? In other words would i still be able to restore to my
production server if needed?
