Duplicating from a cold backup using RMAN

Published: 22 Jun 2004

I do a number of duplicate databases from hot RMAN backups using UNTIL TIME as my criteria. How would I do a duplicate from a cold backup using RMAN?
The methods are the same. When you create a duplicate database from a RMAN backup (hot or cold), RMAN choose the most appropriate backup for your task. You cannot tell RMAN to use a hot or a cold backup. RMAN decides this for you. IF you specify an UNTIL TIME criteria, then RMAN will roll forward from that backup (hot or cold) until the time specified.
