    Recover from backup (obsolete) with nocatalog

    Hi,

    I have rman running with nocatalog, and we take weekly copies of backup for atleast 6 months. but say if rman removes obsolete copies from the control file, How do I restore to a old backup set because the control file doesnt have any information on the backup set.
    Is it possible to set some time and specify the backup set to recover?

    Note: Uses control file because I am in nocatalog.

    Thanks,
    -dharma

    Set the init.ora parameter CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME to 183 (half a year).

    It is an "alter system" parameter.

    But why don't you use a catalog database?

    Thanks julian, I will try. The company doesnt want to spend $$$ and I have to settle for a nocatalog.

    Thanks,

    What do money have to do with recovery catalog? It is a small database, possibly about 100 Mb which idles most of the time.
    One, who thinks that the other one who thinks that know and does not know, does not know either!

    That means I will have to create the catalog in the same instance I am running..which conflict with oracles reccomendation that it be created in a different instance.

    Put in into a small NT/2000 1 CPU machine. That's not much €€€ :-)
