RE: RMAN question

Regardless of your controlfile_keep_record_time, you wouldn't necessarily *lose* your old backup entries. Assuming you have saved your old controlfile backups (e.g. you have the retention set correctly on your tape backup), you could always restore an old controlfile to view the old backups.

I say the logic is correct, with one possible caveat that you would not wan't to stay in this situation too long, if the controlfile record capacity has "wrapped"/overflowed over the one-week default for backup info, you will losing the oldest entries about backups. It depends of the "window" needed of recoverability. controfile_keep_record_time global init.ora setting.
