RE: Level 0 restore

Scott Yes it is possible to restore at level 0 (or 1 or 2) without replaying logical logs, just answer N when the restore asks if there are any logs to restore. However this means all transactions are lost from the START of the archive. Depending on the extent of the disaster you will possibly have some logs available on tape and it is possible to recover as many as are available (sequentially) but leave others off. I hope this helps.
