hi,

Yes, that happens a lot.  Oracle had a bug that it deleted the backups from
the catalog database even we returned error to them.  I don't exactly
remember which Oracle level.  Other factors are how you set up your
management class, copy groups and whether your node has backup delete
access or not.
