Restore the Oracle Data Files in a Different Directory

Symptom

How do I perform an Arcserve Backup GUI restore operation to restore the Oracle data files in a different directory?

Solution

You cannot do this. Although it is possible to restore a database to a different node, the whole directory structure where the database will be restored must be identical to the one on the source node.
