Since April 21st there is the new Quest Backup Reporter. With this it is really simple to create reports on Oracle RMAN backups. The backup reporter gets the data from the control files and/or the RMAN catalog, if this exists. It is very interesting that in the control file more information about the backup is saved than in a RMAN catalog and this is exactly the reason why you can use both sources simultaneously with the backup reporter.
