We use ntp, so the system time on the client matches with the system time on
the networker servers.

This system does do nightly backups, and they are not being deleted -- but
there are normal
directives (which are replaced by the use of -f on the save command in these
scripts) which
prevent the backup directories from being backed up.

Correct, these are NOT rman backups - however, there are rman scripts that the
DBA's do run and
NMO is licensed for this system. I haven't ruled out rman/NMO going bonkers
here.

There is a single client definition for this client in NetWorker.

According to the timestamp on the /nsr/mm/nsrim.prv file, it is running at 11pm
(I do not have
nsrim run via cron and have not manually run it since I upgraded from 7.5.3.2
to 7.5.3.4 --
which was on December 21, 2010.
