RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archived log in the repository

[former_member206552]

I played around today on a test system with backups and had a problem that could help someone.

I restored the database using POINT IN TIME. The full and incremental restore was completed, I had problems with archive logs as they get backed up to disk and then after wards to tape I could not restore them using BRTOOLS at first.

I got the error below

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

I retrieve the backup sets from tape using netbackup

Once this is completed you need to add the archives backup into the repository

rman

connect target;

catalog backuppiece '/tmp/SIDarch1.dbf.S';

cataloged backup piece

Once this is completed you can use BRRESTORE to restore the files from the backup set and apply the logs

just my thoughts
