 Just delete the backups using the OS delete.  The backup will stay in the
catalog (or controlfile) until the window is passed.  Do not delete it from
the catalog or using rman.

HTH,

p.s, We used to do just exactly this.  Now we just do a level 0 every nite.

Okay, I know there must be a way to do this but none of us here are very
experienced at RMAN and I haven't found it in my documentation searches.

We want to do a level 0 backup once a week and incremental backups daily on
one of our databases. We backup to disk and then copy the backups to tape.

In order to conserve space we'd like to delete the level 0 backup but when
we do that the validation of the incremental backup fails.  Is there any way
around this?


Thanks,
Jay Miller
