Restoring Archive Log, Datafiles, and Tablespaces
NOTE: If Symantec NetBackup (NBU) is used to back up datafiles, NBU can be used to restore
datafiles to the database server, backup server, or any other hosts where the NBU clients for the

To restore a datafile or tablespace:
1.

The Restore Database from Media Backup dialog box appears.
3. In the Restore Destination group box, enter the Host Name, Oracle SID, Oracle Home, and
Mount Point (only for NBU) for restoring the datafiles or tablespace. If the Mount Point is left
blank, files are restored to their original paths on the database server.

Restore Options group box select one of the following:
