Duplicate/Copy Database with new name

370091Dec 17 2006 — edited Dec 25 2006

I have been looking at various methods available to duplicate a database. RMAN of course provides this functionality.

If my question is in the doco, apologies as I have missed it!

I want to take the RMAN backups and restore to a database with a different name. I cannot use the duplicate feature because of network restrictions. So I figured I may be able to "copy" the production backup to my test machine and then treat it as a restore to my database named "test" ?

basically can I backup prod using RMAN and restore as dbname test ?

thanks for any advice
