How It Works
You can configure either a content-based or a time-based backup expiration policy for backups made to tape. If
you delete any backup made through the sbt interface by using RMAN's delete command, OSB updates its catalog
automatically to account for the deleted backup pieces. However, when you delete a backup piece from tape using an
OSB command ( rmpiece ) or when you overwrite a backup piece on tape, RMAN's repository won't be automatically
updated. Always make it a policy to use RMAN's crosscheck command to avoid discrepancies between the actual
backups on tape and RMAN's repository backup metadata.
