Restore a 1-year-old backup

652919Jul 31 2008 — edited Aug 5 2008

Hi folks,

I hope you can help me. My situation is as follows:

1. I have some year-old files that I'd like to restore. It's a full backup generated with RMAN. I have the control file and the BAKs, as well

2. It has to be restored away from the production database. I created another instance in a separate box for that.

3. The RMAN catalog is no longer available.

My questions are:

Since I have a new instance and can change the DBID, can I instruct RMAN to use the old controlfile I restored and show me the backup list?

One more thing: the backup was originally generated on the F:\ drive, while the new Oracle instance has the backup files on D:. Will that be an issue?

Thanks in advance for any help
