RE: RMAN backup of archived log fails

Plus, the crosscheck command uses/looks at the Netbackup *catalog* so the files do not necessarily need to be directly available/accessible at the time the command is issued. But they do need to exist in the NB catalog - which you can check with some form of the NB bplist command (before issuing the crosscheck command), if I am not mistaken. If you need the exact syntax shoot me a message and I will try to locate an old script I have.

If the file is available, crosscheck should find it.

If not, it will be marked as expired.

IAC, if you don't run crosscheck, your backup of the archive log will not work.

If files erroneously come up missing, you can always catalog them manually if need be.
