In some scenarios we may need to restore the archivelogs to a different location from its primary location using RMAN from its backups.


Below are the methods to do it.


1.  The below scripts restores the archive logs to a temporary location which is given in the run script.
RMAN> run
2> {
3> set archivelog destination to 'D:\backup';
4> restore archivelog from logseq=250 until logseq=264;
5> }


executing command: SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION


Starting restore at 30-JAN-12
using channel ORA_DISK_1

2. Copy the archives to a different location and restore it to the same default location 


RMAN> copy archivelog 'D:\orcl10g_arch\ARC00250_0747232149.001' to 'D:\backup\arch_bkp';
