List,
We are testing setting up of db backups to tape using netbackup on Linux.
We want to set up a regular rolling 4 day backup schedule where the backups
would automatically qualify for deletions after 4 days. We also want the
ability to retain certain backups from past (within the past 3 days) or
certain future backups to be retained indefinitely, if needed. The latter
type backups will be deleted via rman when not needed. Indefinitely in
practice can be 6 to 7 months.
We want to be able control this from rman than netbackup policy. Is the
only way to achieve it is a setting of forever in veritas policy? With this
we would delete the redundant backups using rman, while retaining the
'special' backups. Different ideas?
Ram.
