RMAN - LVL1 and Archived log backup
Oracle DB: 11.2.0.3
OS: Linux: 6.0
RAC: 5 nodes
I understand that LVL1 would backup all blocks changed after the most recent incremental backup and Archived logs would be copies of all online redo logs. so, I have the following questions.
1. If i have LVL0 from Monday but no LVL1 ran on Tuesday / Wednesday, would i be able to bring the database point in time recovery on Wednesday as long as i have archived log backups from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in FRA?
2. Which recovery would be faster, LVL0 + LVL1 Tuesday + LVL1 Wednesday + Archived log compared to LVL0 Monday + Archived log from Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday? Why?
