Performing Validation

The following commands can be run any time to check if RMAN is capable of restoring the database (or a tablespace) using existing backups.

Use the following to verify that a the entire database can be restored using the existing backups:

run {
 restore database validate;
}

You can also check on the ability to restore an individual tablespace:

run {
 restore tablespace read_only_tbs validate;
}
