hi all.
can someone point me to a good doc that explain how to restore a backup 
from one host to another in 10gr2 ( or/and XE ) ? today i found only 
nightmares like 
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmrecov002.htm
. is it really so hard to restart after an hardware failure ? 

scenario :
1) host PROD, with, oracleXE, makes daily complete backup, according to 
the shipped backup.sh script
2) at time X, sat, a truck or a rocket hits PROD 
3) i have host DEV, with same db, same SID, but, of course, different 
dbid
4) i copy the last backup of PROD in the flash recovery area of DEV
5) i fire up rman
6) RMAN> catalog recovery area
7) rman complains : RMAN-07518: Reason: Foreign database file DBID: 
2529076405  Database Name: XE

i tried "nid" but i can't force a dbid. no way.

i think that this opeartion should be the easiest thing to do. at least, 
with mysql it is.

any suggestion ?

TIA

ivan
