The oracle client does nothing like that, all the management of archive and 
redo logs
is always handled within Oracle.  The agent simply understands both RMAN and 
Oracle API
and executes a RMAN script.  Keep in mind that at times some house cleaning is 
needed
between the RMAN catalogs and the NetBackup catalogs in reference to expired 
images
to RMAN backup id names.

Thanks
