Hi All,

I am using 10g. I have configured FRA (Flash Recovery Area). I have
following questions related to backup from FRA to Tape and restore
from Tape to FRA.

1. Is there any way I can know which redo / archive log corresponds to
which flashback log. For example given a timestamp / scn number is
there any way I can find out corresponding Flashback log and Archive
Log.

2. Is there any way I can selectively backup flashback logs and
archive logs from FRA to tape. For example I have found that in last
30 min the Flashback log has changed / certain file from my Tape
backup is lost. So I want to backup only that particular file to tape
and its corresponding archive log. I guess BACKUP RECOVERY AREA will
backup the entire FRA.

3. During restore operation do I need to bring all the copies of the
Flashback logs from Tape to FRA ? Is it ok if I just restore the
Flashback log corresponding to the required SCN number / timestamp.
Lets say I want to to restore till 1:00 am today and right now its
10:00 am and my FRA contains flashback logs till 6:00 am. So do I need
to bring all the Flashback logs from 1:00 am to 10:00 am in FRA for
the restore operation to succeed ?

Thanks in advance.
