Restore tape backup

edited Nov 12, 2026 2:11AM in Database 15 comments

Hi Masi,

We have tape backups configured through the Veeam Backup Tool and would like to validate our Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) strategy.

As an example, if we need to restore the database to 11-Nov-2026 09:00 PM, could you please guide us on:

How to determine the exact recovery point (SCN, archived log sequence, or timestamp) required for a successful restore and recovery.
How to identify, from the RMAN backup information, whether all required backups (database, controlfile, SPFILE, and archivelogs) are available to perform the recovery.
Whether there is a recommended approach to validate that a restore and recovery would be successful without performing an actual restore/recovery test.
