Let me fix this:

So "yes" you can see the *filenames*, but "no" it's not very useful.

...

Only the RMAN utility can *use* the data backed-up up via the RMAN scripts.

The only thing you can look at is the backup piece name.  The backup piece
is the container for the blocks backed-up via RMAN.  So "yes" you can see
the blocks, but "no" it's not very useful.

Only the RMAN utility can the data backed-up up via the RMAN scripts.

Hi Everyone,

 
I have a trivial question. Is it possible to restore Oracle database backup
taken using RMAN Scripts (from NetBackup) ? Is it possible to browse the
backedup data ? 

In case of normal backup, in the BAR window if one specifies client and date
range, we get to view all the files that were backed up during the specified
window. Does the same functionality works with Oracle database. 

Please note that I am not using BLI. Its raw data that is being backed up
using RMAN from NBU 5.1

Thanks,
Aarti Shenoy
