Restoring an RMAN Backup to Another Node (server)
————————————————-

In certain circumstances, it may be desirable to restore a database from an RMAN backup onto a machine other than the original host.
* to recover data at a given point in time
* to duplicate a production instance
* to verify RMAN backup

Example
——–
Restore RMAN backup from Costpoint production server on us01ap18 to standby database server on us01ap19

The example assumes:

- the target database is on us01ap18
- the database is to be restored onto tus01ap19
- the RMAN catalog is installed on us01ap19.
- the directory structure of us01ap18 is the same as us01ap19
- the ORACLE_SID will not change for the restored database
- a recovery catalog is being used
- the backups were carried out to disk (for illustrative purposes, and to disassociate from any media manager specific issues)
