<file_Pos> : Specify the position of the file on the tape.

init_ora : The profiles init<DBSID>.ora and init<DBSID>.dba are restored (OPS: the init.ora/init.dba profiles of all database instances are restored). These files have the position 2.

init_sap : The initialization profile init<DBSID>.sap is restored. This file is in position 3.

reorg_log : The main log reorg<DBSID>.log and the structure log struct<DBSID>.log are restored. These files are in the third-to-last position. (the script create_raw_links is also restored, if it exists).

det_log : The detail BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE log is restored. This file is in the second-to-last position.

sum_log : The summary BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE log is restored. This file is in the last position. (OPS: the collective BRARCHIVE logs of all database instances are restored).

<rest_dir> : Specifies the restore directory into which the requested files will be restored. If no directory is specified, the files will be restored to the current directory where BRRESTORE was started.
