Backup Pieces have no file extension

edited Apr 30, 2014 12:00PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

Oracle 11.2.0.3

Windows 2008 x64

Using RMAN backup database via dbcontrol

Backup = full, online, with control file, spfile, and archive logs

The backup pieces  in 10g were of type .bak.  In 11g they are without file type.  (ex. C-145652999-20140422-00 and 0CP6ATP7_1_1)

I used to have a BAK file type to restore the control file.

Am I missing a detail or has the processed changed?

My procedure was:

Shutdown

Startup nomount

Restore control file from the autobackup

Mount

Restore

Recover

Open Reset Logs

Howdy, Stranger!
