We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremetal level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Levle 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?

We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. I would really appreciate your quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable. Please share with your views.

No unless something is missing in the current one.

I did recover 2 Tb+ before it started looking for prior week level 0. I am going to post more details. But it sounds like RMAN does go backup to prior backup to check from where it needs to start. Thanks for your assistance.

If you see it failed to identify two backup pieces. When I inquired about those pieces, I found those to be of 1/9. I don;t know why it requires the earlier backups. Please comment.

Most likely because it does not know a subsequent backup with the file it needs.

Execute "report need backup database" and post the result.

Here it is:

RMAN> connect target /

connected to target database: PR1 (DBID=819047839, not open)

RMAN> report need backup database;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1
Report of files with less than 1 redundant backups
File #bkps Name

Weird, post "list backuck of database;" and "list backup of datafile 1;".
Do you use catalog or control file as repository?

For some reason list backup of database or datafile is not showing required backupset file after 15th for datafile 1 since controlfile was restored from 16th backup for some reason. Sending the files...

I see level 0 required backup is not showing in the list for some reason and that's the reason it's trying to go back to last level 0 backup. But I can see level 0 was performned on 16th on the primary server database. It looks like we didn't restore the right contorlfile. Make sense?

RMAN can only know what's inside the control file.
If your backup is not in it then it does not know and then for it it does not exist and can't be used for restore/recovery.

Record in control file the missing backups using CATALOG command.

Following is list of control files on 1/16th and we did restore controlfile from PR1_DF_7JM28J4B_1_1 backupset as following and this is the one which is marked for level 0. We can restore the one which is the last one in the day and see if that works..What do you suggest..?

run{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'k:\rman\%F';
restore controlfile from 'k:\rman\PR1_DF_7JM28J4B_1_1';
}

I didn't see your previous message (was writing mine at the same time).
Yes, restore the latest control file then you can use it to restore the database from the latest backup.
