Oh sorry! I failed to describe things properly.

My concern is not what to do when I need to do restore and recovery in the above mentioned scenario.

My concern is:

when RMAN next time will do a backup it might not find its previous dumps and mark those files as missing in the controlfile ( target / nocatalog). I'm worried that when I then restore them from tape RMAN will tell:

NO valid backup set found!

...or something like this.

Although the files are physicaly present on disk.
