You sort of mentioned it in your opening remarks, Kumar ... but here are a
three pitfalls:
- If your backup system is expiring files independently from RMAN, you
can be left with useless backups.
- If your backup system is vaulting just some of the backups, then the
vault may not have all the pieces you need for a restore.
- If your backup system never expires files, then you may have backups
that are never discarded. An example is taking a database out of service,
but leaving/forgetting its backups. I suppose an "open database resetlogs"
would have rman forget backups? I don't know the answer to this question.
Cheers, Wayne
