Import VEEAM managed oracle plugin rman backup when metadata already lost.

Question

I just want to confirm if my understanding is correct.

Lets say my veeam managed oracle rman plugin backup has this configuration:

control_file_record set to 30 days.

rman retention is set to 30days

veeam retention is set to 30 days.

I also send the veeam backup to that offsite location, with retention period of 1 year.

If I want to restore my database to 1 year ago, and rman and veeam repository already deleted the metadata, so is this the step:

copy the backup from offsite back to repository (.vab, .vasm, .vacm) (should I replace the .vacm?)
rescan the repository, then it will show under DISK (IMPORTED),
will I be able to restore the control file to 1 yr ago now? Or do I need to run --remap backup first ? will the RMAN channel for this old backup files be different from the current one?

thanks

If those files are anything like normal backup ones then in theory this should work but never dealt with Oracle backups. The only way to know is test and if not open a case.

Do you not have the off-site repo in the Veeam console? Can you not access the backups that way?
