That is correct.  RMAN will request a certain string.  If NW doesn't
know where that string is (which I'm assuming is kept in the browse
information), then it's not going to know where to get it from.

This means there's no reason to have your browse and retention periods
set different on Oracle backups.  Unlike file backups, the browse
information takes up NO space, so there's no penalty for leaving it in
there.  There's only a penalty (which it sounds like you're
experiencing) for letting it expire.

Well, I'm assuming that (after reading some NMO documentation, and
getting 
no answer here) that a "saveset recovery" of a backup (between the
browse 
time and retention time) would require a "scanner" command to bring the 
client file indexes back into the browsable timeframe so that RMAN (from
the 
Oracle client) can then do a recovery of the backedup data.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Randy
