Hi all, I am confused about something, I am configuring retention policy to 3 days, and rman deleting backups that are older than 3 days, because they seem obsolete according to retention policy. But what i want to learn is if it is possible to use backups that are older than 3 days, in case of disaster ?? or is it meaningless to keep backup files that are older than 3 days?
