Hi,
I have recently set-up some Oracle rman backups with Netbackup 4.5 on Solaris.
The retention period in the policy is set to infinite for both the automatic 
and application backup schedules. I wanted to check that Netbackup would clean 
up the backups when I obsolete them in rman. But having done the obsolete in 
rman I have found that Netbackup has not removed the backup images from the 
tapes, even though they are gone from the rman catalog. I tried running 
"bpimage -cleanup -client <name>" but the bpdbm log showed that nothing was 
removed.

There was an oddity with the Netbackup configuration on the client, when the 
original backup was made, the bp.conf contained the wrong client name. Could 
this be causing a problem, now that the client name has been changed?

Am I on the wrong track here? According to the manual when rman deletes a 
backup-piece Netbackup should get rid of it regardless of the retention period. 
Does anyone know of a way I can sort this out, so that when rman deletes the 
backup, Netbackup does as well?

Thanks

Pete
