Hi,

I've never come across an easy way to do that exclusively with RMAN, but
you can rely on an OS cronjob to handle that; just use RMAN for the
backups and use the OS for the deletes... something like:

10 04 * * * find /u05/oradata/MyDB -name  1\*.log(or .dbf or whatever
you tag your logs as) -mtime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;

Is there away in rman to backup all logs on disk, but delete n days old
ones.  
 The backup ... Logs ... Delete input does not allow to have separate
criteria for backup vs. Delete.

Thanks
