    This is from the admin guide:

    "To restore the first available copy of an archive log file, issue the
    following command:
    brrestore -d util_file -a log_number
    where log_number is the number of the archive log you want to
    restore."

    You might find more information in a SAP support forum.

"You can use BR*Tools for Oracle to recover from a disaster. You use BRRECOVER to restore missing or damaged profiles and log files. BRRESTORE is not called by disaster recovery, because it always requires the BRBACKUP Logs or the BRARCHIVE Logs, which might not be available in a disaster"

Mmm..seems I need BR*Tools Disaster recovery option for restore BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE logs
