The SET ACCESS and -FROMNODE options do not pertain to backup sets. You
cannot use -FROMNODE to restore data from another node's backup sets. You
must connect with the node name for which the backup set was created.

Also, backup sets contain backup data only; they do not contain archive
data.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
