Hi April,
1) Yes, you can with dbms_backup_restore - there have been a few mentions
of that already on this thread
2) Yes, it's the MML layer that reads & writes to the tape
a. Not sure about your second question if they are retrievable - maybe
that was for the OP?
3) I don't put KEEP on anything, we manage retentions centrally in
Netbackup here and I run crosscheck and delete expired on a monthly basis to
prevent overgrowth of the RMAN catalog, but I also regularly backup my
controlfile (autobackup in 9i+) and my recovery catalog so I have something to
fall back on in case I accidentally delete the wrong records somehow.
Regards,
Brandon
