Hi all, please can you point me in the right direction. I do not know what to search for (my english is failing me here).

I think there is a way to continue a restore after it has failed, from the point at which it failed. For example you start a restore, but half way through the restore it fails because a directory you are trying to restore does not exist. So you create the directory, and then want to continue the restore from where it failed.

What is the command (or the option) to search for ?

NO Need to continue from failed restore. You can restore/recover your entire database once you fix your problem

The same one you previously execute. Oracle will see what is already restored and what is not.

Thank you. Just to confirm, do I just repeat the restore command:

restore database; - if I am still in the same rman session ...

ie. I do not need to rerun the previous commands ("set newname")?


My script is very basic -

1. set newname ...
2. restore database;
3. switch datafile all;
4. recover database;

I just rerun / start from step 2 ?

If I understand it correctly the controlfile already has the information for the restore up to where it failed, so fixing the error (in this example, the directory) and then running the restore database command again, will continue the restore where it last stopped (failed) ?

No, it just checks if the file you want to restore is already there or not.
