If your company archives data of site via NetBackup vaulting, or

good luck restoring a quarterly backup from last year without a catalog.
It can be done, but it is much simpler if the metadata is retained in
the RMAN catalog.
Not sure about that, Jared.
We use Netbackup and it is a piece of cake to get any tape we want from
off-site storage.
I certainly would not rely on RMAN catalog to keep Netbackup tape id and
locations!
The scenario I described earlier where we got back a db from 2 years
before was precisely off one of those Netbackup catalogs.
Not an issue at all. Any notion that non-Oracle software cannot
possibly work correctly with Oracle products belongs to sales arenas...
