Also, once you EXCLUDE these files, they are marked INACTIVE. When you do a restore, by default you only get ACTIVE files back. So even if you do a full restore and there are backups of some of these files, you would have to really work at it to create yourself a problem! -Original Message-

Hi Guillaume, We have been running the Oracle TDP for several years, and this has ALWAYS been a problem. The backup objects are described by metadata BOTH in the RMAN backup catalog and the TSM DB. Several things can cause the two DB's to get out of sync, and then you have backup pieces left in
