Thanks for reply:
I tried to restore the archivelogs on their own and it still asks for a
backup piece thats on a tape that has been scratched.
I looked at rc_backup_redolog and see lots of entries for the particular
archive log.The last entry (in date order) points to a backup_set that is
on the scratched tape. The second last entry points to a backup set that is
on the tape that we have in the library. Im guessing that RMAN looks at the
last entry and figures that this job backed it up and deleted it and
therefore it is this tape. What I want to know is how I can get the
archivelogs to be restored from the previous tape. Im probably going to
raise a tar now.
I can see in the logs that our bi weekly backup and delete all archivelogs
ran on the 11/jan/2001 - yet these particular archive logs were backed up
again the day after. Very strange behaviour yet could explain why RMAN is
pointing to wrong tape.
I always suspected RMAN was to easy to not be problematic
