Oracle Database Discussions

Hello,

I need your advice about a project I am doing now:

I have 7 RAC 11gR2 nodes on Redhat Linux. We are backing up the database (one instance node) using incremental updated backups via RMAN, and then we move the backups to tape. I autobackup the controlfile and spfile with RMAN and my retention window is 60 days. I am also, running md_backup every night to backup ASM metadata.

until now everything is ok.

But, what happens if I completely loose the 7 nodes RAC? if all the servers are down and completely lost?

I have to think about the best, easier solution to restore from tapes and then restore/recover my database (database + ASM) to a dedicated single instance on a separated server located in another data center.

could you share your experience and advice the step by step of doing it?

thank you
