RMAN snapshot controlfile - Is it required for recovery?

edited Jul 25, 2012 10:20PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi

We are new to RMAN

We are creating nightly RMAN full backup and part of the backkup is backing up the snapshot controlfile

We are not using the RMAN catalog

this is our configuration of snapshot control file

configure snapshot controlfile name to '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf.f';

Our RMAN is getting written to '/u03/rmanbkp (as follows)

configure channel 1 device type disk format '/u03/rmanbkp/%U' maxpiecesize 4096 M;

We would like to know that if we need to recover / restore the database would we need to have the snapshot control file as well besides the rman backup?

Howdy, Stranger!
