Jerome,

>>resulting backup will be known in the control file/RMAN catalog.
No both will be "known" to RMAN...
just that one will be known (to be) on tape
and the other will be known (to be) on disk (that has been copied to
tape...I realize RMAN knows nothing of this copy to tape)

Just becomes a matter of how "who" and "how" to it off/back from tape.

Hi Chris,

The main advantage of "backup backupset ..." (to tape) vs. TSM backup of
the backupsets is that the resulting backup will be known in the control
file/RMAN catalog. The administration of the backups will be much
easier: one will be able to restore/recover files with simple restore
commands at the RMAN prompt (even if it will require for RMAN to restore
a backup of a backupset and "unpack" it.)

Regards,
Jerome
