I am fully backing up my standby database every night with following statement. (please note that I do not use rman catalog but control file)

backup AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET full database tag ORCL_FULL_STBY format '/oradata/archive/fast_recovery_area/%d_%T_%s_%p_FULL_STBY' plus archivelog tag ORCL_FULL_STBY delete all input;

I wanted to check with 'restore ... preview' if my backup is good enough to restore database from zero.

result= failure!

reason:

"no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 65 and starting SCN of 49020676 found to restore"

I have been reading oracle documentation and blogs since days but I could not understand that even though I take full online backup yesterday if I want to restore my database today I still need archive logs of last month?

can you please review my analysis and tell me where do I do wrong ?

for example a piece from my last backup;

BS Key  Type LV Size       Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time

as you can see 'Ckp SCN' is 50570723 so my understanding tells me if restore these backups I will need archive logs on top of these SCN. for me best candidate is

BUT in output of 'restore ... preview' RMAN stil tells me that 

no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 65 and starting SCN of 49020676 found to restore
no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 66 and starting SCN of 49020693 found to restore

no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 73 and starting SCN of 49324912 found to restore
no backup of archived log for thread 1 with sequence 74 and starting SCN of 49498102 found to restore

when I look at V$ARCHIVED_LOG I see that indeed these archived logs seem deleted because of 'plus archivelog tag ORCL_FULL_STBY delete all input' they were deleetd after being backed up. and due to my retention policy & script ; I delete backups of archived logs also that are older than 2 days.

D         74      49498102     49632131

still I cannot understand why rman complains about archived log which are for older sequence (and SCN) than my last backup :( because I was assuming that relevent archived logs should have been already applied to these data files, no?

my final aim is to deliver below for the case we lost everything. 

run {
restore database;
recover database;
}

thanks in advance, Halit

P.S:

RMAN> list backup;

I do not see your exact database version anywhere, but it seems to be the bug described in the below MOS note:

RMAN-06025 - RMAN RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW at standby site is asking for old log (Doc ID 1599013.1)

CAUSE

Checkpoint_change# standby controlfile not refreshed properly.

BUG 15876029 - RESTORE PREVIEW ASKING OLD ARCHIVE LOG IN STANDBY DATABASE

Closed as DUPLICATE of

BUG 8740124 - CURRENT STANDBY REDO LOG GROUP SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE DATABASE BACKUP BY RMAN

  SOLUTION

1) Workaround is to recreate the standby controlfile.

OR

2) upgrade to 11.2.0.4 or above where Bug 8740124  is fixed

OR

3) check for availability of patch 8740124
