Restore without archive logs [message #73286]

I have the option of backing up my DB with or without archive logs. Is it also possible to restore with and without archive logs.

Currently I am using restoration using RMAN for RAC and this fails if there are no archive logs backedup.

Thanks for the help in advance!

>>Is it also possible to restore with and without archive logs?
depends on your approach.
with RMAN,the most recomended too to backup an oracle database, u cannnot backup if the database is NOARCHIVELOG mode.
other option is to
do a cold backup--- really not fascinating
take a full database export-- which is really not a 'real' backup...but very handy in many cases. takes Longer time to restore.
