I then try to restore that controlfile and get an error. What am I doing wrong?

RMAN> restore controlfile from 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\AM
UN\AUTOBACKUP\2010_06__17\O1_MF_S_721928294_61O90L0G_.BKP';

Starting restore at 21-JUN-10
using channel ORA_DISK_1

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 06/21/2010 14:09:14
RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

Answer : Restore from older backups

OK, I see what is happening now. When I use OEM and chose to specify rather than restoring from autobackup, i need to click the Edit RMAN Script button also and insert some ....UNTIL (date, scn etc)
Thanks
