Are Backup files good or not

Hi,

on 10g R2 on Win 2003

I backup my DB using control files (nocatalog).

How can I verify that my backup files are good ? Of cours in Rman log there is no error.

In documentation the following is to verify the data files but not the backup files :

RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;

In V$BACKUP table I have the following for all :

FILE# STATUS

CHANGE# TIME

---------- ------------------ ---------- --------

	1 NOT ACTIVE	0
	2 NOT ACTIVE	0
	3 NOT ACTIVE	0
	4 NOT ACTIVE	0

Thank you.
