With a recovery window-based retention policy:
For backups to tape, RMAN takes another backup of a file, even if a backup of an identical file exists,if the
most recent backup is older than the configured recovery window. This is done to allow media to be recycled
after the media expires.
For backups to disk, RMAN skips taking the backup ifan identical file is available from a backup on disk, even
if that backup is older than the beginning of the recovery window. The retention policy causes RMAN to retain
the old backup for as long as it is needed.
