Well I'm not sure about the latest TDP versions but in the older 2.1 or so the options are a little limited. RMAN thinks in terms of redundant backups. The delete scripts that are delivered with RMAN give a small insight on how to delete the old backups. But it's based on deleting any files that are part of a backupset that is above a redundancy level. Not really the daily weekly monthly stuff. I might have some scripts hanging around that you can have but they only really deal with one month of backups and then over and out. >From memory do not try do achieve this using TSM management classes as RMAN expects to be in complete control of backup files/pieces.

TSM server 5.1.5 is running on AIX. We want to make daily backups (30 versionen), weekly backups (4 Versions) monthly backups (12 versions). using different management classes. I am rather familiar with TSM but not with Oracle/RMAN. Are there scripts available for performing these (or similar) backups automatically? and - what would be still more appreciated: Are there scripts available for deleting overaged backups? (deleting backups from mgmt class X and older than y days)? Thank you for your preposals and answers and for your readyness to let me participate in your experience Gernot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
