restore FRA from tape backup
GUGGIMar 13 2012 — edited Mar 23 2012I have got a 2 node RAC cluster.
I am running RMAN backup connecting to one of the nodes and then running RMAN backups to FRA.
Since I cannot backup ASM to tapes just like a normal file system, I have configured the MML to backup the FRA to tapes using "backup recovery area" command.
The FRA backup to tapes is successful.
Now if ever I need to restore / recover the database, how do I restore my backups from tape.
ie: I dont see a command to say -> restore recovery area , which will restore the backups to FRA.Or is there a way ?
If it cannot restore , then what is the point of backing up the FRA to tapes using the above command.
Any thoughts ?
