Restore Data
Specifies whether to restore datafiles from the specified full backup. When cleared, the system does not restore datafiles.
Data is restored from the latest full backup only. If you have performed incremental backups and need to apply this data to the full backup, see the description of the Recover option below.
Specifies that the system will restore data files from the full backup created at or before the point-in-time based on the date and time that you specify. For a Point-In-Time recovery, you should have all log files available up to that time.
To change the date, click one in the list. Also, use the space to set the appropriate time. Ensure that the date/time that you enter is equal to or later than the date and time that the backup completed. Also, ensure that the date/time to which the datafiles are restored is earlier than or equal to the date and time of the control files restore.
Specifies that the backup tag assigned to the specific backup that you want to restore will be entered. Tags are constructed at the time of backup. Since data is restored from full backups only, ensure that the tag you select is the tag for a full backup. Use the space to type the backup tag.
Specifies that datafiles will be restored from the latest full backup.
Specifies whether the read-only tablespaces are checked for consistency. If the tablespaces are not consistent, or if they are missing, they are restored. Otherwise, they are not restored.
