Hi,
You may just configure RMAN with this command:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3560 DAYS;
This will maintain your backup for 10 years.

Subject: Rman backup keep forever
Hi
we just had a little discussion here about the following situation
When you backup a database (hot) with RMAN and specify keep forever Rman will
never delete the archives anymore (there is metalink articles about this)
But if you are doing a hot backup you can not use the keep forever nologs
option as there won't be any logs to recover the database to a consistent state.
I would have though you should be able to tell RMAN to backup the database and
archivelogs and keep that set forever, thus allowing you to restore and recover
to a constistent state (for instance year end backups).
There does not appear to be such a feature/clause.
Am I just not reading the docs correctly or is this really the case?
