RMAN restore using ASM and no archive logs.
I have recently put up a new 11.2.0.3 installation on Windows 2008 using ASM for all datafiles and archive logs. . Today, I am testing the recovery process.. On 10g without ASM, My recovery stradegy was to to recover to the last full back without any archive log data. Oracle was a little finicky in 10g, meaning that I would have to remove my archive logs from the flash back area in order to restore from full backup without rolling the database forward automatically.
On the new 11g database I was to test this same process where I recover the database from a full RMAN backup without the archive logs.
