NOTE: In the images and/or the document content below, the user information and environment data used represents fictitious data from the Oracle sample schema(s), Public Documentation delivered with an Oracle database product or other training material. Any similarity to actual environments, actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner.

For the purposes of this document, the following fictitious environment is used as an example to describe the procedure:
Database Names: ABC, ABCD

Using RMAN duplicate with the "backup location" option will use any files within that directory and sub-directories:

Consider:

Datafile location of database ABC: /backup/db/abc
Datafile location of database ABCD: /backup/db/abcd

This command will look at any files starting with 'abc' which will also include 'abcd'. Therefore, RMAN duplicate can restore datafiles backups
residing in the abcd sub-directory.
