Oracle Backup and Restore Case Scenarios - Case Study 6 (Magic Restore)

Oracle Backup and Restore Case Scenarios - Case Study 6

Case 6: Magic Restore: Recover a lost datafile without backup

If a datafile has been dropped mistakenly before the backup, it can be brought back. RMAN restores it from online log and archive log. This is done through RMAN new feature 
RMAN Automatic  Datafile Creation.

SQL> select file_id, file_name ,tablespace_name,AUTOEXTENSIBLE,status  from dba_data_files order by file_id;

FILE_ID FILE_NAME                        TABLESPACE_NAME    AUT STATUS

Restore the tablespace tbs_restore.
You can see that datafile 7 which was not backed up has been restored.
First is preview session to see when RMAN is creating the datafile not backed up.
(Preview output is captured from different session, so timings are different.)
This RMAN feature was introduced in 10g and enhanced in 12c

RMAN> restore tablespace tbs_restore preview;

Starting restore at 25-SEP-2017 15:56:07

datafile 7 will be created automatically during restore operation
