If the remote archived log destinations allow write access.
See Figure: Non-CFS local archiving scheme with archive sharing.
If the archive logs reside on a CFS.
See Figure: CFS archiving scheme.

In the examples that follow, the client is saturn and the server is jupiter. The backups are stored under the client name saturn.

The following example restores all of the archive logs:

RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=saturn,NB_ORA_SERV=jupiter';
RESTORE
      ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
}

If the remote archive logs destinations do not allow write access, use a script such as the following to restore the archive logs:

RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=saturn,NB_ORA_SERV=jupiter';
SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION TO <directory>;
RESTORE
      ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
}
