Brian - I couldn't figure out what you are asking. First of all, are you intending to use RMAN with a catalog? Are you wanting to distinguish the backups for a report or on recovery. I think that RMAN will record all the backups you have performed and will want to use the most recent backup for recovery. If it is just a report, you could use the "TAG" parameter when you perform backups so the disk backups and tape backups could easily be listed differently.
