Netbackup 7.5.05
If I backup Oracle using an RMAN script, why am I not able to browse the individual files for restore? I need to be able to browse and choose the files I want to restore, but I am unable to. However I can restore the entire backup using the RMAN script.
thanks,

Because backup was done with RMAN and Oracle policy type backups, it cannot be browsed like regular filesystem backup.
Please download the NBU for Oracle manual that Nagalla referenced above:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5175
You will also see in this manual how bplist command can be used to list/browse backups.

Thanks, this brings up an interesting observation that I noticed while doing the trials, currently every oracle database has its own individual rman repository stored as part of db, so if the whole database crashes the rman repository is also lost, then though we have backups on tape we will not be able to restore/recover without the rman repository, another option is to manually restore individual backups from tape and do the restore, with what you have mentioned that is also not possible.
