Backup & Recovery :: Delete Obsolete Backups
Mar 17, 2011
We observed that our RMAN backup was taking more time to complete. CROSSCHECK is the main culprit as because of having data in the catalog for more than 3 years.
So in the part of script we added delte obsolete recovery windoe of 14 days. (Redundancey 1).
Here the problem is we are getting error as
RMAN-03002 - failure of delete command
RMAN-06091 - NO channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type).
Reason: Till 2 years back the backup was stored in tape and after that it got changed to disk. So allocating channel disk to delete obsolet is not working. How we can over come this.
We tried like allocating channel tape sbt_type. It got failed as no media manager information configured. We dont have that information.
How we can overcome this.

I have a problem in running delete obsolete or report obsolete using rman. Although the retention policy is set to "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 60 DAYS;", when running delete obsolete or report obsolete it deletes or returns all the backupsets till sysdate. What should I do to solve this issue?

Environment: 2 Node Oracle(10.2.0.4.0) RAC on Aix 6.1.
Backups using RMAN utility.Our system is configured to take backups on Tape library using TSM server.
We take incremental level 1 backup on all days and Level 0 backup on Wednesday.We would like to keep the RMAN retention period of 14 days.I delete the backups that are 7 days old from the disk to save space and 14 days older backup from Tape.
I am getting below error in my RMAN backup logfiles.Also attached
RMAN-06207: WARNING: 147 objects could not be deleted for DISK channel(s) due
RMAN-06208: to mismatched status. Use CROSSCHECK command to fix status
RMAN-06210: List of Mismatched objects
RMAN-06211: ==========================
RMAN-06212: Object Type Filename/Handle
RMAN-06213: --------------- ---------------------------------------------------
The configuration of RMAN is:
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
[code].....
How to avoid this error ? Can we set "Retention period" as 14 days in RMAN level and delete the backups in disk which is older than 7 days?Should the deletion of tape backup be handled in TSM level ?

I am trying to delete the backupset using Delete Obsolete command, but i am unable to get the success. As per the oracle Doc after completion of Retention Period oracle automatically deletes the backupset. I have set the retention period of 8 days.

I have a policy running every night and it makes:
- level 0 for datafiles not backed up,
- level 1 for datafile not backed up since 'sysdate-1' then another policy makes:
- level 0 when the datafiles become read only
The recovery windows is set to 1 day.
In the following situation:
RMAN> list backup of datafile 394;
List of Backup Sets
===================
BS Key Type LV Size Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time

I expect that the first L0 backup is going to become obsolete, but even if I run crosscheck, it never become obsolete.

Oracle 10gR2 on 64-bit RHEL.Backup Strategy:There will be a level-0 backup of the database every Sunday and level-1 every weekday.Archivelogs will be backed up up every 30 minutes.
Q: How can I delete ALL the archivelog backups that were taken that day (every 30 minutes) right after successful completion of level-0 or level-1 backup?
I want to delete them because they may not be of any use after the level-0 or level-1 backup (am I right)?

note in our database we changed RMAN backup to redundancy 7.
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 7;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default

Also we have scheduled in our dailly backup to delete obsolete backup means to delete backup which completed more that 7 times, but when we check our backup still in our disk for 1 Month.Note we have scheduled to delete obsolete backup dailly.

My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.

We have EM (Cloud 12c) initiated scheduled backup jobs that perform (all below are online backups, obviously archivelog mode)
- level 0 Incremental 3AM on Sunday - with options backup all archive logs, delete input, delete obsolete
- level 1 Incremental (non cumulative) 3AM every other day - same options
Recovery window is set to 3 days, other options below:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET PARALLELISM 2;
[code]....
Everything appears to be working normally (archive logs are being backed up and once they are the archive logs themselves are being deleted from the FRA), but I'm having some trouble understanding the behavior of the delete obsolete.
With a recovery window of 3 days, on Monday at 11AM my expectation would be that I would find in backups the following:
- level 0s from day before (Sunday) and the previous Sunday (8 days prior)
- all level 1s from previous Sunday on (so Mon-Sat and this morning)
- archivelog backups from Friday until this morning
What I'm not understanding is that I'm seeing archivelog backups from last Monday, Tuesday, etc. - i would have thought these would have gone obsolete based on my recovery window, yet when I run report obsolete in RMAN nothing is showing up.

RMAN is not removing obsolete backups and now the backup directory is nearly full.Retention policy is 1, however, there are backups more than 6 weeks old still in the backup directory.crosscheck and delete obsolete commands run every night, and I have also run these manually, yet the backup files still remain.It is like RMAN is not aware of their existance.How can I confirm that RMAN does not need them and therefore delete them manually using OS commands.

I have a live server on which Oracle 10g Database is running. We take full RMAN Backups everyday. Now we want to restore the RMAN Backup file from the Live server to another machine (which is going to be a test system). I want to restore the latest RMAN backup on the test machine (which is not on network).
When I copy the RMAN backup set in the flash recovery area of the test machine and then use "list backup", the backup set is not listed. I also tried "crosscheck backup" and then "list backup" but still the backup set does not appear. how can I register the backup set from live server into test machine and then restore it.

I am going through the Oracle VSS writer , trying out various methods. Just keen to know if this is the right place to ask VSS related questions as I could not find any post related to VSS.
For Volume based VSS shadow copy backups for a logged database, I am unsure about the restore method using VSS writer. Also oracle doc does not mention any steps for volume based restore of a logged (archive log mode db) database.

is it possible to have a vss snapshot backup on the top of an RMAN backup. Because the link [URL] says that we can have an incremental level 1 backup on the vss snapshot backup.
So I need to know if interoperability between RMAN and VSS exists or not.
Also is it possible to have mixed backups meaning vss snapshot backups and rman backups. Whenever we take snapshot backup, is it updated in the control file?

I am trying to learn about RMAN Incrementally Updated Backups. I created a database on Server A with the parameters and configurations as shown in image attached. I would like to restore full database on Server B (Test DB).The Server B is exactly same in directory structure as the Server A
e.g. ('E:archive','E:incr_backup'). I would like to automate this process so that it updates the Server B on daily basis for R&D purpose.

I've done a crosscheck backup in RMAN and the list of expired objects has actually gone down, in number, from the last time I did this ( 2 weeks prior). We do NOT delete anything from our RMAN catalog on a routine basis (ie. no "DELETE EXPIRED BACKUP commands were issued) so normally the list of expired backup objects increases with each RMAN maintenance task we do. Why the number of expired objects might actually go down in this particular instance ?

Can the control file be used to store scripts which are used to perform backups? I know the RMAN recovery catalog can.
Does the SHOW command display detailed reporting on the RMAN catalog contents other than configuration information?

I've created a small script witch delete the obsolete and expired backups of RMAN.
The problem is: the "delete obsolete" and the "delete expired backup" command needs a confirmation with YES. I don't need to confirm the command and he deletes the backups directly?
Here is my little script:
#!/bin/ksh
export ORACLE_SID=dbtest2
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/srv/ora/product/11.2.0/dbtest_2
export ORACLE_BIN=/home/oracle/srv/ora/product/11.2.0/dbtest_2/bin
alias RMAN=$ORACLE_BIN/rman

We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremental level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Level 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?
We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable.
