Hi Finn, TDP for ORACLE for UNIX (and probably windows) states that all the files generated have unique names. further down (pg 35/36) it states VERED and RETO must be set to zero, and that the frequency, verexists, retextra, mode and serialisation parameters are completely ignored.
You must remove them manually using the RMAN script. And ensure the node setting for backdelete=yes on the server. look in the manual for more detailed instructions. hope this helps!

Hi TSM specialists, We have encountered a problem with a server that uses TDP for oracle. One of our server now has a total of about 9 TB of data on our tape pool !!! What we found out is that this is caused by the fact that everytime TDP sents data to our TSM server it gives the "file" a new name so all versions are still active and growing !! growing !! growing !! Which is OK for the bill we send to the customer but not really a desirable situation. Any idea's on how to delete the data or how to prevent this from happening? set up of mgt_class: Vexits 28 Vdeleted 0 Rextra NOLIMIT Ronly 0 > met vriendelijke groeten, regards et salutations, > > Finn Leijnse > > ISES/31 - Central Data Storage Management > Shell Services International bv. > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.phoenixitgroup.com ******************Internet Email Confidentiality Footer******************* Phoenix IT Group Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 3476115.
