Does the log of the level 0 backup identify the problem redo log as being needed but missing/ If so you should of run
Change Archivelog All Crosscheck;
and then redone the backup. I think that would of fixed the problem. I had a database which is not normally backed up, burt I wanted to do so before upgrading to 11.2.0.3. The first incremental level 0 I ran gave an error saying it needed archived log number 15XX. The archived log created just before the backup was 109XXX. It complained about a log from months/years ago. Running the crosscheck fixed the problem, and I was able to get the backup done. The control file and not an Rman catalog was in use.
I wonder if you run crosscheck after the fact, will it let you recover????

Hi Howard,
Thanks for your suggestion. Backup optimization is off. BTW - What was the
solution in your case? Just turning off backup optimization or you figured
out a workaround, solution?
