changes made after the last backup, as follows:
RMAN> report unrecoverable device type 'sbt_tape';
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations

7.2.2 List utility
The list utility queries the contents of the recovery catalog or the control file,
primarily to determine which backup or copies are available. Examples of the
list utility are given in the following sections.
