Hi guru's,

i have a recovery problem, maybe (hopefully ;) ) you have a solution.

Here's the scenario:

Hot backup of production server is made at night (from 3 AM till 4 AM). When I try to restore this backup to another server (in the same network) on the next day (say 2 PM), Oracle uses all archived logfiles from the production server, and asks for the next archived logfile (that has not been archived yet).

Why does Oracle keep on asking for archived log files, and doesn't stop when the archived log files from about 4 AM have been applied?
