Create Data Guard Using ASM Managed RMAN backup

Question

we have an oracle database 11.1.0.7 working on Windows server 2003 (64bit). The storage in ASM managed (same 11.1.0.7). Our total database size is 4TB.
I will have to create a physical standby database (Data Guard) of this instance. Now I am having issues on how to transport my RMAN backup pieces (which is also ASM managed).
I cannot do an over the network RMAN backup because it will take months to complete.
We have external 4 hard disks (2 TB each). But my RMAN backup pieces are ASM in format.
Any ideas on how to easily create a data guard in this set up.

can you provide us any clear steps....Hope you asked for Restoring from backups.
1) Prepare PFILE and put in nomount status.
2) Restore standby controlfile
RMAN> restore standby controlfile from '+DG/...'
3) Mount controlfile
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
4) Restore database.
If you are restoring into another diskgroups, then use as below.
RUN {
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '+Dg1/....';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO "+Dg1/...';
RESTORE DATABASE
If same diskgroup you want to use then, just give RMAN> restore database;
After successful restore
5) Start MRP
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
