Recovery Testing
I plan to use the backup of all the datafiles from previous week backup and use the recovery objects (controlfile, redo logs, archive logs) from this week's backup to see if the database would recover to this week.
The question I have is that onces I have all the datafiles and recovery object in place, what command do I need to issue? Do I do a startup mount and then recover database? When should I apply all the archive logs? Thanks for your help.
