no autobackup found while attempting db restore.
I have a database (10.2.0.4) that I'm running backups for via Grid Control (10.2.0.5). I chose the option to "Schedule Customized Database - Whole Database".
I ran a full backup and an incremental backup. I'm including the control file, spfile and archive log options.
I copied all the backup files to a recovery system and began running a recovery process.
I used:
rman TARGET / CATALOG xxxxx/yyyyyy@repository
SET DBID=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn;
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
RESTORE SPFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
at this point I get
...
channel ORA_DISK_7: looking for autobackup on day: 20100921 <<< full and incr backups where performed here.
