Rick,
I have a space problem so I manually delete the old backups and then
run the 
CROSSCHECK BACKUP to clean up the catalog
===== this is done as as script that I run

TH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/home/oracle/OraHome1/bin
export PATH
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/OraHome1
export ORACLE_BASE
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
ORACLE_SID=lnxdb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_SID
TNS_ADMIN=/home/oracle/OraHome1/network/admin
export TNS_ADMIN
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
echo "Start Backup:" >/xxxxxprd/rman_lev0.log
echo `date` >> /xxxxxprd/rman_del.log
/home/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rman <<EOF>> /xxxxxprd/rman_del.log
connect target "sys/xxxxx@xxxxxprd-tcp"
connect catalog rman817/rman817@xxxxxrman-tcp

allocate channel for maintenence type disk;
crosscheck backup;
release channel;

allocate channel for maintenence type disk;
delete expired backup;
release channel;

allocate channel for maintenence type disk;
list backup;
release channel;

exit
===============

I already read that script, but I don't understand how it knows that I
want
to keep 90 days of retention for my backups.  I'm sorry if I am
missing
something.

 

Thanks,

Rick,

 

Check out $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/rman1.sh for an example.

Subject: Rman 8i vs 9i question - delete obsolete

In 9i rman I can set the retention policy to whatever I want and delete
all
obsolete backups based on that setting.

I cannot find, however, a similar feature for 8i rman.  Is there a way
to
set this, and if not, how does rman determine what an obsolete backup
is?

 

Thanks,

 

Rick Stephenson
