Given:

configure default device type to disk;
configure device type disk parallelism 1; configure datafile backup copies for device type disk to 2; configure archivelog backup copies for device type disk to 2; configure channel 1 device type disk format
'f:\backup\t02a_%U','g:\backup\t02a_%U';
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to
'f:\backup\controlfile\%F';

configure retention policy to recovery window of 7 days;

And a script:

backup database ;
backup archivelog all delete all input;
delete obsolete;

The "delete obsolete" deletes the automatic controlfile/spfile backup that was just created, leaving me with none. Is this correct behavior?  How can I prevent it?

TIA, Paul Baumgartel
