Hi Rman Gurus, Can anybody please let me know how to set the retention period in 8i and also what is the default retention period set in 8i. I have a NT box here where in I have to configure rman for everyday backup which includes full and incremental backup and the damagement wants to keep one week worth of backup only. Please let me know how to get this enabled Thanks in Advance Arun ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
