Why keep Level 1 backups after Recover Copy of Database

755692Mar 26 2010 — edited Apr 1 2010

I implemented the daily recover copy of database
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR RECOVER OF COPY
strategy.

I have a 30 day retention window and other compressed un-recovered backupsets running weekly
What I'm noticing is the level 1 backups, after they are used to recover forward my level 0 backup remain. How can I ever use them after I've rolled forward my level 0 image copies?

Is there any reason to keep them? Can they be used to recover a datafile from a separate compressed backupset?
