Hi April,
- Yes, you can with dbms_backup_restore - there have been a few mentions of that already on this thread
- Yes, it's the MML layer that reads & writes to the tape
- Not sure about your second question if they are retrievable - maybe that was for the OP?
- I don't put KEEP on anything, we manage retentions centrally in Netbackup here and I run crosscheck and delete expired on a monthly basis to prevent overgrowth of the RMAN catalog, but I also regularly backup my controlfile (autobackup in 9i+) and my recovery catalog so I have something to fall back on in case I accidentally delete the wrong records somehow.
Regards,
Brandon
