Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN Recovery without Catalog
Content-Type: text/plain
We're on windooze using a catalog but I believe the catalog or lack thereof
makes no matter in this instance
For example, normally we create backupsets on f:\oracle\backups on Production server. When we do disaster recovery testing we ensure that a f:\oracle\backups directory exists on the restore server and then copy the backup sets to that location on the restore server . From there on the restore server I can issue restore database and the catalog knows to look in f:\oracle\backups for the backups sets and then to initiate the restore

Subject: RE: RMAN Recovery without Catalog
Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reply.. I am still not clear.. will it read it from HOST_A ? What if i have already backed up using RMAN but for recovery don't have the catalog.
Say : Backuped up HOST_A database using RMAN to DISK1.
Now when I restore without catalog.. will it read from DISK1 or HOST_A ?
Well, if i duplicate the database using RMAN.. it should read from HOST_A directly.
Thanks agian.
