Re: RMAN restart

Greetings,

IF you can use Tablespace backup instead of Full backup, and when ever a Tablespace backup is complete its good to go.

If it breaks, start with the rest of the tables. BTW you can start the netbackup command from your RMAN backup script.

Modify your RMAN script to accept a file name (rman_backup_script -f <left_over_tbs> with getopts or some other mechanisim, When you pass a file name with Tablespace(s) you need to backup, the script does that only.

IF no file is specified , it does all the Tablespaces you specified or again you can choose another file which has a list of Tablespace names.

Test your process by recovering.

HTH Regards & Thanks
