Subject: TDP Oracle Restore


Dear All,
Sorry to bother you all again.
I am going to restore backup of oracle database tomorrow.

The only thing I know about restore is that sample script:


run
{
allocate channel t1 type ?sbt_tape? parms
?ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/home/oracle/tdpo.opt)?;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open;
}

which is called from the command line while involking MAN.

Question is :

when i go about restore, how would i know which backup is being restored...
the
active backup?? what would i need to do to restore any inactive backup??


Cheers
Sandra
