Got a question on RMAN recovery with aborted incremental backups.
I suppose I can simulate this scenario..but thought I'd post the question here to get your opinion first.

Lets say I take a "Level 0" backup on Sunday; a "level 1" (cumulative or differential) on Monday and backup archivelogs by the hour.

Something goes wrong during Monday's Level 1..say the tape gets jammed. And I abort or kill the Incremental backup by doing a "kill -9" and do nothing else.

Then, say something goes wrong on Tuesday morning and I need to perform a full database recovery. When I issue a "restore database;" followed by a "recover database;" - what happens? Is RMAN intelligent enough to realize that the level1 backup was hosed, and it ought to restore Level0 followed by all the archivelogs? (Or does RMAN expect a DBA to inform the catalog about the failed backup everytime by explicitly removing the failed backup piece or something?. I would hope not!)

Thanks, Anand
