Point-in-time recovery of a database to another server

Hi All,

I have some quite basic question on recovering a database. I'm doing a quarterly restoration test for my production database to a different server. This activity is to ensure that when anything happens I can rely on my backups to recover the database.

Now, this activity do not need me to recover the database to it's latest copy as I'm using backups which have been moved to a secondary storage.

My restoration steps is fairly straight forward

  1. Restore control file
  2. Rename redo logs, rename datafiles.
  3. Run "restore database; switch datafile all; switch tempfile all; recover database;"
  4. Now this will usually runs into an error stating missing archive logs which is expected because I did not copy the latest archivelogs over.

Howdy, Stranger!
