Re: RMAN backup of archived log fails

Syed,

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. The backup exists on some tape 
managed by NetBackup, which may or may not be available at the time of 
issuing the crosscheck command. If it's not available, and what you say 
is true (and I understand it the same way), then I effectively lose a 
perfectly good backup, don't I. Surely there is a more robust way to get 
this sorted. Anyone?

Cheers,
Tony
