Paula,

 

I wrote korn scripts to perform rman backups to disk followed by
gzip'ing the resulting file.  We keep about one weeks worth of backups
on disk (3 backups).  The directory is backed to tape nightly.  I have
another script that simply removes files from this directory (things
more than 9 days old).

 

If you need a file from tape, the sysadmins will need to get it for you.


The bad news is that you need about 2.5 times of disk space for this
type of setup.  But Ruth is correct.  The Rman backups run in about 15
minutes.

 

Tom

Wanting to do our backups to disk as tape media and hware so unreliable
and system admin group wants us to have them run our backups and
restores which would just slow down the whole process

Any way to keep storage costs down considering one week worth of backups
and using all the tricks for types of tablespaces and backups???
