Hi All,

Question:

Say I have 3 weeks of backup, and I want to get rid of everything but one week. Will this REPORT command give me a list of everything I can delete:

REPORT OBSOLETE UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7'; Basically, anything outside the time window will be considered obsolete. And, does this include backups, archive logs, and control file copies?

We have to implement this and do not have 3 weeks to wait to test this out.

Thanks,
