how did you backup to tape.
to restore from tape you would have to do something like
run {
allocate channel ch1 type sbt_tape;
startup nomount
restore controlfile ;
alter database mount ;
restore database;
release channel ch1;
}

I backup whole database to tape, but don't know how to
restore it back "diectly" from tape.

The procedures I doing are:


RMAN> startup nomount

Variable Size 167772160 bytes

using target database controlfile instead of recovery
