Best way to validate db recoverablity with rman

edited Mar 27, 2014 12:00PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I was testing recovery of a database and wanted to do a restore validation prior to running the actual restore.  I'm running a full(level 0) backup on Sundays and incrementals (level 1) the remainder of the week.  When I ran a restore database validate with my set time to 14:01 on Tuesday, it looks like only the full taken on Sunday was validated.  There was no mention of the incrementals.  Subsequently, I validated each piece (archive, controlfile, spfile, backupsets for the incrementals) and all completed successfully.

I'm not quite understanding why when running the restore database validate command and specifying a point in time after my full backup was run, why RMAN did not validate the incremental backups.

Howdy, Stranger!
