Does the log of the level 0 backup identify the problem redo log  as being 
needed but missing/ If so you should of run

Change Archivelog All Crosscheck;

and then redone the backup.  I think that would of fixed the problem.  I had a 
database which is not normally backed up, burt I wanted to do so before 
upgrading to 11.2.0.3.  The first incremental level 0 I ran gave an error 
saying it needed archived log number 15XX.  The archived log created just 
before the backup was 109XXX.  It complained about a log from months/years ago. 
 Running the crosscheck fixed the problem, and I was able to get the backup 
done.   The control file and not an Rman catalog was in use.

I wonder if you run crosscheck after the fact, will it let you recover????

Hi Howard,
Thanks for your suggestion. Backup optimization is off. BTW - What was the
solution in your case? Just turning off backup optimization or you figured
out a workaround, solution?
