I want to retain backups on tape for 1 years...
and want to retain backups on disk for 1 month...
I make a script runs on each Sunday.
{
configure retention policy to redundancy 4
allocate channel for disk....
backup database...
delete noprompt obsolete...
release channel;

configure retention policy to redundancy 52...
allocate channel for tape...
backup backupset taken after 'sysdate-1'....
delete noprompt obsolete..
release channel
}

Is this is right...
My question while redundancy 4 delete obsolete will delete all backups including tape...
How to avoide it... OR can I configure retention policy for disk and tape different.

Regards,
