Archive logs can be restored separately or along with the database. If there is a database failure and you need to recover the database to the recent state, you will be able to restore all the logs along with the database.
If the logs from a specific time range were lost due to a hard disk corruption, you can restore them by performing a point-in-time restore of the logs.
Use the following steps to restore all the archived logs (note that this is the default option):
-
From the CommCell Browser, go to Client Computers > client > Oracle.
-
Right-click the instance, then go to All Tasks > Browse and Restore.
The Browse and Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
Select Latest Backup, and then click the View Content button.
-
Optional: Use non-default browse and restore options. For more information, see Browse and Restore.
-
Select the database, and then click the Recover All Selected button.
The Oracle Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
Depending on the type of restore to be run, click Restore in place or Restore out of place, and then click Next.
The Oracle In Place Restore Options or Oracle Out of Place Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
Select the Restore Archive Log check box.
-
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Restore Options dialog box appears.
-
In the Snap Restore Options group, select the Use FileSystem Restore check box.
-
If you are using a backup copy for the restore do the following:
-
Click the Copy Precedence tab and select the Restore from Copy Precedence check box.
-
In the Copy Precedence box, type the copy precedence number for the backup copy and click OK.

Click OK.
