If you are saying that you receive the corrupt message when you try to un-rar the file then that would be a problem with the rar software and not Oracle.

Hello:-
The case is that i added 4 backup files in my rar archive. And when I extract them 3 were extracted successfully but 1 file abt which i talked before was not extracted because rar generate an error in which it was written that Unable to extract! Damaged or corrupted file.

And this what Brian told you.
Oracle can do nothing for you against a corrupted rar file.

Hello:-
I know oracle can't. But is there any tool that can recover your damaged backup file.

I don't know and I don't think posting in an Oracle forum would be the better way to get an answer.
You should choose a more appropriate forum.

Better you search in Winrar forum.

As rar detect it as corrupted it probably wont extract it too.

1st try to get it extract then search of oracle tool that might able to repair or extract data from corrupted data file.
