I already read that script, but I don’t understand how it knows that I want to keep 90 days of retention for my backups. I’m sorry if I am missing something.

Rick,

Check out $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/rman1.sh for an example.

Subject: Rman 8i vs 9i question - delete obsolete

In 9i rman I can set the retention policy to whatever I want and delete all obsolete backups based on that setting.

I cannot find, however, a similar feature for 8i rman. Is there a way to set this, and if not, how does rman determine what an obsolete backup is?

Thanks,

Rick Stephenson
