Hi all,

Our RMAN template contains the following run block:

   ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00
       TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
   SEND
   
'NB_ORA_CLIENT=hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au,NB_ORA_POLICY=EDN-hostname-ORA,NB_ORA_SERV=hostname.dsto.defence.gov.au,NB_ORA_SCHED=Default-Application-Backup';
   BACKUP
       FORMAT 'ctlfile_%d_u%u_s%s_p%p_t%t'
       CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
   RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
   }

The only modification to this template has been the FORMAT strings.

The problem:

We never see any evidence of the control file being backed via the output of the
FORMAT string 'ctlfile_%d_u%u_s%s_p%p_t%t' in NetBackup's activity monitor.

The Questions:

1. From all my reading the Oracle policy type includes the control file.
   Can someone please confirm this ?

2. Why would we never see a string output of 'ctlfile_%d_u%u_s%s_p%p_t%t' even
   though it has been defined within the RMAN template ?

3. How can I confirm whether or not NetBackup is actually backing up the 
control file ?
