You don't say what version of Oracle, whether you are using a recovery catalog, whether you have OEM, etc. This information is needed by the list members who may be able to help.

Dex Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 9:09 AM To: oracle-l@freelists.org Subject: Rman backup archivelogs How do you make rman backup the necessary archivelogs and then delete them when they are no longer necessary? I am new to rman. One book that I read says you have to do this by putting “backup archivelog all”; in your script but doesn’t mention how to delete when they aren’t necessary. Then someone else told me you don’t have to put anything in a script, you just set CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; I am rather confused at this point. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
