Apparently, Oracle is no longer "aware" of the 01-Jan-12 backup.
This is the problem statement : What if I were restoring an old backup (say 01-Jan) to another server but I did NOT have the controlfile that was part of the backup ? If I can use my media manager to restore the backup pieces from tape to disk (e.g. to the /newmountpoint/FRA filesystem), how can I restore the database without the controlfile ?

This is the "solution" :
(a) I restore a backup of the current controlfile (or any recent backup of the controlfile) to the new server.
(b) I then CATALOG all the backuppieces of 01-Jan that I have restored to disk.
(c) I can then RESTORE DATABASE --- even though the controlfile I am using is as of 08-May-12 and the backuppieces are from 01-Jan-12.
(d) I can RECOVER DATABASE to any point from 01-Jan to 08-May as long as I have (or can restore) the Archivelogs.

RMAN> 

After using the CATALOG START WITH for the new location of the 01-Jan-12 backuppieces, I can now "see" the backup in RMAN. Therefore, I should also be able to restore this backup.

Questions :
1. What could be the 13-FEB-12 backup that doesn't appear in the directory but does appear in a LIST BACKUP SUMMARY ?
2. What could be the 01-JAN-12 backup that still appears even though I have moved all the backup pieces ? (Note : I have deleted a few line in the "crosscheck backup" output that are about these two "backups".
3. What differences could be present between the 01-Jan-12 backup and the current / latest controlfile that I am using ?
4. Can I use "CROSSCHECK BACKUP" with backuppieces on tape ? 5. What would the COMPLETION_TIME for the 01-JAN-12 Archivelogs in V$ARCCHIVED_LOG ?
