Lie, lies, damned lies! :)
It IS, in fact, possible to recover across an open resetlogs in versions pr=
ior to 10g, but it's a heck of a lot easier to do it in 10g.

One caveat: I doubt you did a resetlogs recovery in between Friday night an=
d
Sunday, but until very recently Oracle recoveries could not roll across
openresetlogs (so you needed to do a double full backup after a open
resetlogs recovery in order to avoid trusting your career to a single piece=
of rusty ribbon.)

Yes, as long as you have the required logs. Oracle works perfectly well
doing a restore from heterochronous backups. You only need the "older" file=
s
in place of the missing "newer" files. You still have to crank through a
more archived redo logs, but the block updates are only applied when the
time is newer, so the more of the "newer" files you can use, the better.
Good luck!

Hi list,
We need to do a point-in-time restore of one of our 9.2i databases to Monda=
y
3 p.m.
The last two backups was performed Sunday night and Friday night and all th=
e
archived logs are in the original place.
After 13 hours of tape restore, we found out one of the DLT tapes is bad. W=
e
are able to find out which files are in this
tape and there are 36 datafiles on it.
My question: Can we restore those 36 files from Friday night's backup?
Thanks,
Roger Xu
