select file to restotre from 'restore session menu'

[Paolo Gilli]

hi,
how select file to restore when I select to restore from session. I can see only mount point.
Using 'filesistem / interval ' restore I am not able to select the backup of 2 week ago

When doing a "restore from session", the file must have been
backed up that night. You'd expect that it's there on the "full",
but if your selected restore session is an incremental, it won't
be there unless it changed from the last full backup.

interactive restore

There is a box you can check to restore to a location other than where it was backed up.

The backup is always full cold backup of oracle database. Why I can't select the file to restore in 'restore session' as is possible in 'restore filesystem'?

I think I see what you mean now.
My bad, going from memory, and not being in front of Omniback.

Still not sure why you can't find it in a filesystem restore session,
searching by the specified interval. Do you see it at all,
but just not in the date range you need? Or are you not seeing it?

We had a situation recently where a dev database needed restored,
and I couldn't find two temp dbf files that the DBA's needed,
even after restoring an entire cold backup directory. It turned
out that their cold backup script was in error, and that these
files were never caught on any of the colds.
Hope something similar hasn't happened to you.

(Fortunately, ours were "temp"s, so their workaround was not bad)
