Is is possible to restore from backups after a NID database name change?

in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

After using the NID command to change the name of a database, the change log includes a line which says "All previous backups and archived redo logs for this database are unusable." Is that an absolute or are there work-arounds to restore from backups made before the name change?

Howdy, Stranger!
