Hey all,
In 11.2, I have an incremental RMAN backup strategy with a level 0 done on
Sunday and level 1 done every other day of the week, with archive logs
running every 15 minutes. Retention is set to a "RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1 DAYS".
Why are the archive logs older than 1 day not considered obsolete? My
understanding is that a complete (or recent PIT) recovery would be:
- Restore level 0
- Recover all level 1 backups
- Recover archive logs since last level 1
So, why are the older archive logs not obsolete? I see keeping at most 2
days, but there are currently 5+ days in the FRA.
