This functionality called "Alternate Client Restore" is needed in several circumstances:

  • Restoring in a Real Application Cluster (RAC) Environment
  • Restoring in a physical Standby Environment
  • Creation of a test database with DUPLICATE DATABASE command
  • Creation of a standby database using DUPLICATE DATABASE ... FOR STANDBY
  • Restoring Database for Point-in-Time-Recovery (PITR)
  • Restoring parts of database for Tablespace-Point-in-Time-Recovery (TSPITR)
  • Restoring full database after disaster, when original host no longer exists
