How to recover database to an old timestamp
Hello experts,
I have a question regarding one rman scenario.Suppose I have some good backup(level 0 + archivelogs+controlfile&spfile) taken in tape.In tape side this backup is kept for 1 year.After 6 months I have to create a database with that backup and do some testing.Controlfile definitely will not contain that history but catalog will.If I don't use catalog then how do I identify that backupset.One senior dba in our team claimed that we can recover until that time even if there is no entry in catalog.
Appreciate any expert suggestion on that.
