Archived video retention policies

Wondering if anyone has good links to video archive retention policies.
We are probably going to institute some sort of retention policies in the near future.
We will be keeping orginal tapes, and archiving the straight captures of the tapes.
We obviously will also store the fcp projects.
Also, we will be archiving the finished products.
Looking for others' policies so we can see what other edu's and coms are setting as rules for how long stuff is stored in each format.
thanks

I keep the tapes.
The FCP project files, stills, created graphics, project files and assets from applications like Motion and AE, music and sound effects...those I burn to DVD and archive. I also export a self contained movie of the final show...texted and textless and archive those to hard drive...and keep copies of the final output tapes.
I never back up the captured footage that I have the tapes for. I either keep the tapes, or if required by the network, send the tapes back to them....since they own them. If they want the project revisited and rebuilt, they need to send them back.

Cannot Assign Archive and Retention Policies in Outlook 2010

We are having problems figuring out how we enable Archiving and Retention tags in Outlook. We have a new Exchange 2010 server with an Enterprise license key. We have run Microsoft Office professional plus 2010 on all of our clients (licensed through
our volume license service agreement). We have configured an Archive mailbox store and assigned accounts to use that store. The archive mailbox appears in the users Outlook, but they cannot assign policies to folders or items. The ribbon does not show the
option. I can see that it is configured to be part of the ribbon (when customizing the ribbon), but the option is not available to the user to actually select. I see user tags assigned to the user in Exchange, so I am at a loss as to where else to look for
the problem.
I see lots of documentation that says this is a licensing problem, but I am running the right components and think I have the right licensing. Is there a trouble shooting document or things I can check to make sure I have everything the way I need it to
be?

We found our own answer on this. Not sure why, but we had to use powershell to start the Managed Folder Assistant for the user name we had configured:
Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -identity <username>
My guess is that if we had waited long enough this would have resolved itself.

Understanding (default) archiving and retention policies and tags

I am taking a look at archiving and policies and tags and am a bit confused.
If I look at the "Default Archive and Retention Policy", I see a lot of Tags assigned to this policy. On the Mailboxes tab, I see no mailboxes listed.
although no mailboxes are listed in there, are all users that (will) have archive enabled still using this default Policy?
I see a lot of Personal Tags in there assigned. 1 Month Delete, 1 Week Delete; Are all these tags active, or is the list you see there all tags that a user CAN personally use and assign to his folder?
For example, what does the tag do: "1 Month Delete", Personal Tag, Delete and Alllow Recovery, Age limit for Retention 30, Retention Enable True?
there is also a tag called "Default 2 year move to archive", with type All other folders in the mailbox. Does this mean that all users that have this policy assigned, that all their mail older than 2 years will be moved to their archive? Or can
the user enable this tag?
The longer I look at this list, the less I understand.... Maybe someone can give a short explanation?
Thanks!
Olaf

Hi,
For the question 1:
Yes. Exchange Setup creates the retention policy Default Archive and Retention Policy. When you enable a personal archive for a mailbox, the Default Archive and Retention Policy is automatically applied to the mailbox if it doesn't already have a retention
policy.
For the question 2:
Users can apply these personal tags to folders they create or individual items.
For the question 3:
First, we should know what the "Delete and Allow Recovery" retention action do.
Delete and Allow Recovery: This action emulates the behavior when the Deleted Items folder is emptied. Tags that have this action applied are known as deletion tags. When this action occurs, and deleted item retention is configured for the mailbox database
or the user, messages move to the Recoverable Items folder. The Recoverable Items folder (previously known as the dumpster) provides the user another chance to recover deleted messages.
So about the tag you mentioned above, it's a personal tag, when a mailbox item reaches its retention age(here is 30 days), the items will be deleted in the source folder and moved to the Recoverable Items folder.
For the question 4:
If you choose the type "All other folders in the mailbox", then this would be a Default Policy Tag (DPT). This DPT is applied to all other items where a RPT is not applied.
For example, if you have created a retention policy tag and apply it to default folder Inbox, then Inbox folder won't be affected by a default policy tag whose type is "All other folders in the mailbox".
Please note that a mailbox can't have more than one retention policy. If you later apply a retention policy to the mailbox, tags from the Default Archive and Retention Policy are no longer available to the mailbox.
Best regards,

Confusing Application of Archive and Retention Personal Tags and Policies

I created some custom personal tags and applied it to the retention policy assigned to my account and started the managed folder assistant on my mailbox and when I saw the new tags in Outlook, I applied personal tags at the folder level of all of the folders
in my Outlook 2010 profiles by right clicking on each folder, selecting Properties, then selecting Folder Policy, then selected the retention and archive policy I wanted and then clicked OK to save the settings.
After about 15 minutes, I had finished going through all the folders, I went back to look at the folder properties and instead of showing the custom policies I just set, they have "Use Parent Folder Policy" selected on the Policy tab for both Folder
Policy and Online Archive. It looks like the settings are not being saved/applied or they are reverting back to defaults. However, some messages show retention and archive dates and some messages are moving to my archive mailbox.
This is confusing to me, so this looks like it is going to generate a large amount of tech support calls when we roll this out and it will be difficult to explain to end users how this works.
Our retention policy does not contain any default archiving policy or retention policy on the Inbox (the 2 year default was not applied) to our policy. So mail in the Inbox is not automatically moved unless a user applies a personal tag to archive
and delete the messages.
How is this supposed to work and how long does it take for folder policies to be applied from personal tags and then work as expected in Outlook?

As for when the managed folder assistant runs, it depends on your Service Pack level. For Exchange 2010 SP1 and later, the retention policies run 24x7 with a throttling policy applied to the Mailbox Folder Assistant. Also, there is no guarantee
that the managed folder process will necessarily finish in the time allotted. In fact, there should be messages on the Exchange server side that document how many mailboxes were processed and I think, how many were not.
For the timing in general, if a tag is applied, my understanding is that with the default settings it could be up to a day, if not longer until things begin processing. It depends on what window you have for retention policies to process, what might
already be in the queue to process next, etc.
For the Start and End date question, my assumption would be that on the day that it is supposed to start, it will be placed in the queue to be processed as soon as possible, The same for the end date.
Hope that helps.

NEW 9I RMAN: BACKUP OPTIMIZATION AND RETENTION POLICIES

제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2004-05-20
NEW 9I RMAN: BACKUP OPTIMIZATION AND RETENTION POLICIES
=======================================================
오라클 9i RMAN 에서는 백업을 보다 효율적으로 할 수 있는 기능을 보강 했다.
지금 소개할 "Retention Policies" 기능을 통해서 보다 효율적인 RMAN 백업
전략을 세울 수 있다.
1. 백업 화일 최적화 방법 (Backup File Optimization)
백업 화일 최적화란 백업에 소요되는 공간을 최소화 하는 전략이다. RMAN
백업시에 같은 정보 (dbid, checkpoint, and resetlogs data 등등) 를 가지고 있는
화일이 이미 존재하는 백업 셋 내부에 있는지 체크하게 된다. 만일 같은 화일이
이미 백업 되어 있다면 BACK UP 명령은 해당 화일에 대해서는 백업을 하지 않게
된다.
이때 같은 화일이라고 판단하는 기준은 다음과 같다.
* Datafile: 같은 DBID, checkpoint SCN, resetlogs SCN 과 time. 데이타 화일은
반드시정상적으로 offline 되었거나, read-only 이거나, 또는 정상적 으로 close
되어야 함.
* Archived redo log: 같은 thread, sequence number, 그리고 같은 Resetlogs
SCN 과 time.
* Backup Set: 같은 Backup Set recid 와 stamp.
RMAN 이 백업을 수행하다가 위와 같은 조건의 화일이 이미 존재함을 확인하면
이것은 건너뛰게 될 화일의 대상이다. 하지만 이때 바로 Skip 을 결정하지 않고
정해진 Retention Policies 를 조사 한후에 Skip 여부를 결정 하게 된다.
만일 백업 명령에 DELETE INPUT option 이 사용되면 RMAN 은 백업이 Skip
되어도 화일을 지우게 된다.
RMAN 은 모든 화일에 대한 백업이 Skip 되어도 에러메시지나 경고를 보내지
않는다.
그러나 만일 데이터 화일에 대한 백업이 recovery policy window 보다 오래
된 것 이면 RMAN 은 새로운 백업 화일을 만들기 위해서 화일을 백업 하게 된다.
Note:
자체적인 expirations policy 를 가지고 있는 media manager 를 사용할 경우에는
이런 백업 최적화 정책을 사용하는 것에 신중을 기해야 한다.
백업 최적화 를 사용하기 위해서는 CONFIGURE 명령을 사용한다. CONFIGURE
명령은 명령 수행 이후에 이루어지는 모든 백업에 대해 적용이 된다.
예:
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default 는 OFF
2. Backup Optimization에 Retention Policies 적용 하기
Retention Policy 로 백업 최적화를 조절 할 수 있다. 그러나 retention policy를
사용하지 않기 위해서는 'CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO NONE' 을
이용해서 명시적으로 retention policy를 사용하지 않는다고 해야 한다. 디폴트로
REDUNDANCY = 1 이 적용 된다.
a. Recovery Window 를 이용한 Backup Optimization
만일 백업 최적화가 enable 되어 있고 Recovery Window 가 retention policy
적용을 위해서 셋업 되어 있으면 RMAN 은 항상 가장 최근의 백업이 Recovery
Window 보다 오래된 데이터 화일을 백업한다.
예를 들면 다음과 같은 조건에서
o Today is February 21.
o The recovery window is 7 days.
o The most recent backup of tablespace tbs2 to tape is January 3.
o Tablespace tbs2 is read-only.
2월 21일에 tbs2 테이블 스페이스를 테이프로 백업을 하라는 명령을 내리면,
RMAN 은 이 화일이 1월3일 이후에 변경 사항이 없는데도 불구 하고 백업을 하게
된다. 이로써 RMAN 은 최근 7일 동안에 최소한 한번의 백업이 있어야 된다는
조건을 지키게 된다.
이러한 작동 방식은 media manager 가 오래된 테잎을 제거 해도 되도록 한다.
그렇지 않다면, media manager 는 1월 3일의 백업을 무한정 가지고 있게 된다.
2월 21일에 tbs2 테이블 스페이스의 보다 최근의 백업을 만듦으로 써, RMAN 은
media manager 가 1월 3일에 백업 했던 테입을 지워도 되도록 한다.
b. Redundancy 를 이용한 Backup Optimization
Retention policy 로 Redundancy 를 채택 한 경우에 RMAN 은 Redundancy
에 1을 더한 갯수를 초과하는 오프라인 또는 읽기 전용 화일의 백업을 건너뛴다.
이때 'CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY n' 명령어로
Redundancy의 갯수를 정한다.
아래와 같은 백업 최적화 명령을 내린 경우를 예로 든다:
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
아카이브 테이블스페이스를 한번도 백업을 받은적이 없고 다음의 작업을 1주일
동안 한다고 하자.
Day Action Result Redundant Backup
Monday Take tablespace archive offline clean.
Tuesday Run BACKUP DATABASE. The archive tablespace is backed up.
Wednesday Run BACKUP DATABASE. The archive tablespace is backed up.
Thursday Run BACKUP DATABASE. The archive tablespace is backed up. Tuesday backup.
Friday Run BACKUP DATABASE. n/a Tuesday backup.
Saturday Run BACKUP DATABASE. n/a Tuesday backup.
Sunday Run DELETE OBSOLETE. The Tuesday backup is deleted.
Monday Run BACKUP DATABASE. The archive tablespace is backed up. Wednesday backup.
화요일, 수요일, 그리고 목요일의 백업은 아카이브 테이블 스페이스를 복사 해서
3개의 백업이 반드시 존재 해야 한다는 조건을 충촉 시킨다. (1+Redundancy)
금요일과 토요일에는 백업 최적화 조건에 의해서 아카이브 테이블 스페이스를
복사하지 않게 된다.
RMAN 은 일요일에는 유효기간이 지난 백업 화일을 지우게 된다. 따라서 화요일에
만든 백업은 삭제 된다. 월요일의 전체 백업은 3개의 백업이 존재 해야 한다는 조건
때문에 아카이브 테이블 스페이스를 또 다시 백업하게 된다. 이런 방식으로 백업
사이클이 진행 된다.
3. RETENTION POLICY NONE vs. DEFAULT
주의 사항:
'CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO NONE' 과 'CONFIGURE RETENTION
POLICY TO DEFAULT' 는 그 의미가 같지 않다. 전자는 RETENTION POLICY
자체가 존재 하지 않는다는 의미 이며 백업은 expire 되지 않으며 'DELETE
OBSOLETE' 명령은 사용 할 수 없게 된다. 후자는 디폴트 RETENTION POLICY
(REDUNDANCY 1) 를 사용하게 된다는 의미 이다.
'DELETE OBSOLETE' 명령은 RETENTION POLICY 기준으로 expire 된 백업을
제거 하라는 명령이다.
보다 자세한 내용은 Oracle9i Recovery Manager User's Guide and
Reference의 Backup Optimization 부분을 참고 하시기 바랍니다.
--------------THE END----------------------------------------------

Hi,
Backup optimisation = +- do not copy empty space.
So, when you issue your BACKUP statement, it backs up the datafile. dot. nothing more.
In order to achieve what you're testing, look into TFM for BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL x .

How to use retentions policies in OWA

Please don't use acronyms without defining them first
I am trying to setup retention policies for my boss's email. He uses Outlook 2013 on his laptop. Am I correct in thinking that if I set up retention policies through his microsoft 365 Outlook Web App, the retention policies will be applied to Outlook
2013 client on his laptop? He does have exchange.
As I understand it, retention policies cannot be applied to default folders (Inbox, sent items, deleted items, and junk mail). Retention policies can only be applied to created custom folders. Is this true?
Are Deleted items and Junk Mail retained for a certain period and then deleted by default? If so, what is the default retention period? Can it be changed?
Does Office 365 back up emails? If so, how long does it retain emails? Can it be changed?
I did setup a Test folder with a retention policy that was a week long. A week later I check on an email I placed in the Test folder and the email said it had 0 days until expiration. I checked the Test folder again a week later and it was deleted.
Is the Test email recoverable? I would prefer that it is not. I did some research and found that the Managed Folder Assistant needs to run before expired items are deleted. How do I get Managed Folder Assistant to run every night? I don't know how to use Powershell
and only have access to OWA.
I need to figure this out pretty soon. If you need more info. just ask.

Mr. Bomb Diggity
2. Policies are applied at the Mailbox Level. So if you apply a Retention Policy to his mailbox, it would indeed be "pushed" to his outlook.
3. Default Folders do have retention policies, however I believe the users can not change them. I will have to verify that. I do know that you can setup custom policies for other folders and the users can choose which policies they want on that folder.
4. Again you will have to find out which policy is applied to that mailbox and find out which retention tags are set for those folders.

Retention Policies without Recreation of mailboxes

Greetings,
i'm wondering if it's possible to create Retention Policy and with these tags:
Delete and Allow Recovery after 3 years
Move to archive after 1 year
without recreation of whole mailbox.
Because I've several Databases with around 200 Mailboxes.
Imagine how much bandwidth and time would it take to download new mailbox from server.
For example in three years one mailbox has around 3GB.
I tried applying this and it recreated all mailboxes, whole network went down because of download.
Thank you.

If I understood you correctly: it is possible to apply non-default retention policies to existing mailboxes,

Custom Retention policies for default folders in Outlook

Hello,
The following are the steps I've taken to create a retention policy for a user.Exchange 2013, outlook 2013
The problem is that even if I create a retention tag for a default folder, I cannot implement it. I've gotten retention tags for user created folders to work, but not the default folders.
Login to microsoft 365 as exchange Administrator
Click Admin > Exchange
Click ‘Compliance Management’ on left side
Click ‘Retention Tags’
Create desired retention tag by folder (choose default folder or user created folder)
Save each tag as it is created
Click ‘Retention Policies’
Click ‘New’ to create a new policy
Add desired tags to policy and click save
To apply Retention Policy click ‘Recipients’ on left side
Click ‘mail boxes’
12.
Select user and click edit > mailbox features
13.
Select desired retention policy
14.
Save
Using this method I created a retention tag to delete mail in the junk mail folder after 14 days. I added the 14 day junk mail retention tag to a retention policy and applied
it to a user. But whenever I look at the junk mail folder it shows that the email will be deleted in 30 days --- not 14.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
We can try to use managed folders to specify retention settings for default folders such as Inbox, Deleted Items, and Sent Items. See:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee364744(v=exchg.141).aspx
Also check this:

RMAN Retention Policies

We are looking for two retention policies for our backups. 30 days retention for all backups on TAPE and 7 days retention on all backups on DISK. If we set retention policy to 30, disk couldn't accommodate all backups on disk at the same time, we need backups on tape for at least 30 days.
Any ideas?

You would have some block of code in your script to delete obsolete backups... replace that with two commands (one global and one for disk). You would still have retention policy for 30 days
RMAN TARGET /
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE SBT;
DELETE FORCE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
DELETE FORCE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS DEVICE TYPE DISK;

"Permanently Delete" fail in outlook client after setting up the "Archive and Retention Policy" in Exchange 2010

In Exchange 2010 server, we have setup a policy under "Default Archive and Retention Policy" as all messages under "Inbox", "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" will be Permanently Delete after X months.
However, one of our client found that some of the email messages was still found under his "Deleted Items". All other email messages under her outlook client (2010) were successfully deleted according to the policy.
Is there any reason for this exception?
Thank you

Hi,
Based on your description, you created retention policy tags for Inbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items folders. Then you linked them to the default archive and retention policy
Default Archive and Retention Policy.
Please check if this issue affects all users.
Please create a different retention policy which is associated with these retention tags, and apply this policy to a test user to check result.

Help desk cannot assign retention policies to new mailboxes

I am running Exchange 2010 SP1. I would like to give my help desk the ability to create new mailboxes. When a new mailbox is created, we select the option to assign a Retention policy to it. I added the help desk members to the "Recipient
Management" group. They can now create new mailboxes but they get an access denied error when they select a retention policy to be assigned to it. As a member of the "Organization Management" group, I am able to assign retention policies to new
mailboxes.
With the RBAC editor, I created a custom management role group called "Mailbox Management" based on the "Recipient Management" group and added the "Retention Management" role to the group. I believe this will give them the permissions to apply retention
policies to new mailboxes but it also gives them the permissions to create/modify/delete retention policies themselves. I only want to give them the rights to add mailboxes to retention policies.
I assume I need to create a custom management role and assign this new role to my new management role group but can someone tell me the minimum role entries I need for my help desk to be able to assign rentention policies during the mailbox creation
wizard process?
Steve

Hi Steve,
Due to you post the issue in a wrong type, and we changed the type to give you a suggestion.
Please refer to below information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638205.aspx
The permissions required to configure messaging policy and compliance vary depending on the procedure being performed or the cmdlet you want to run. For more information about messaging policy and compliance, see
Messaging Policy and Compliance, refer to above article you could find out what permissions you need to perform the procedure or run the cmdlet, then you coudl create a roleassignment
for the customized role group.

Archiving Video Tapes

I've recently been asked to look into the best way to archive video footage at full resolution. The originals Digital Betacam tapes may be released or edited at some point of time in the future, so they must be stored under dry and cool conditions.
As far as I understand copying the tapes every 5-8 years or so is safe. However, with the advent of Blu-ray (or any other media storage devices I'm not aware of) are there any safer options?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Kees

HI Kees, how many hours of the content do you have? What will be the subsequent usage of the footage when you recall it from any archive (repurposing [to what] or legal for example?).
Assume you would like to keep the footage as pristine as possible vs your needs and budget?
FWIW: there are many ways you can achieve what you want within the bounds of you budget and considering what others have posted on the forum. It's true that if it 'moves" it will eventually stop moving one day... very true. So there are ways around this too depending on your budget and needs. (from large multiple instance data tape libraries, to SVOD (if you can get them), Holographic storage from PLASMON right down to the humble other spinning things including optical disks (DVDs, SONY PDD's etc etc)) to using paid HOSTING services similar to the one mentioned by another on this thread.
These are all transitory solutions that in time will need to be replaced themselves. So it is important to keep your footage/content in the most pristine way for your business needs so it may in turn be MOVED/TRANSFERRED/migrated to the next archival mediaum format. It's the way it is unfortunately. There is a LOT to be said for leaving film on film and video tape on video tape (original carriage) despite the age of contemporary media formats
Failing to do this will get you caught out in the future. (like old home video8 gear these days)
Additionally there are methods to maintain the essence that you need in a "pristine" way and somewhat future proof yourself. Again this is based on your workflow, metadata and business needs and your of course most importantly your cheque book.
I have this "archive" issue like many of us now with "tapeless workflows".

Moving Events and archiving videos directly from Canon HF100 to External HD

Hello,
After purchasing my Macbook and my canon HF100 camcorder I got too carried away and excitedly imported too many videos to Imovie. When the Macbook had no more space to import new movies, without reading instructions ( NOW I KNOW... ALWAYS to read instructions first) I archived the videos directly onto an external HD ( 500 gb FAT 32 format).
Now in order to free up some space I tried to move the existing events and projects from macbook to the same hard drive , but the HD icon has a yellow exclamation mark, which I now know means that it has to be formatted to MAC OS. and MAcbook will not allow moving of any events or projects to the hard drive..
My problem as below:
1- If I format my external HD now, it would loose all the previous data etc which I do not want. Since the directly archived videos are stored in FAT 32, does that mean they are now unusable for I Movie import? What should I do next in order to store the currently archived movies properly that Mac recognizes and reads the data correctly?
2-I need to free up space on my macbook as soon as possible as the startup disk is totally full. I do not want to buy another external HD to move my data but i do already possess an I book external hard drive which is also Fat 32 format and has photos etc.. which I do not want to loose by formatting it.
Can I copy all the files from my external HD ( where I archived the movies) to the I book ( where there are other movies and photos from windows computer) which is FAT 32 format and then format it to MAC OS and re transfer the archived movies back. Will Macbook recognize the files then?
All the videos and photos are very precious to me and I do not want to lose them. Any help with my problem is highly appreciated. I wait eagerly for an answer. Many thanks in advance.

Do I need to create a seperate folder for the RAW archived files which are yet to be processed by I >movie?
In general, you want to be able to move it back exactly as it was, you can drag it over to the iBook, then drag it back. If it helps to put everything under one folder to do this, that is OK. When you move it back, make sure it looks like it looked before you moved it.
Can the RAW files be transferred to a FAT 32 HD without formatting to MAC OS.. will this not >corrupt the data?
Probably. I'm guessing you are using an 8GB SDHC card or similar with your Canon. If you put your card in a card reader on your Mac you should see it in the Finder (or you can connect your camera directly). If you see it in the Finder, do a right-click/Get Info. I would bet that your SDHC is formatted as FAT32. So if the original camera is Fat32, you know that FAT32 is fine for the archive.
Here is why. FAT32 has an architectural limitation for file sizes. Files cannot be more than 4GB (minus one byte) - or 3.999999999 GB.
The files on the camera are highly compressed AVCHD. Further, you would typically press record and stop several times while shooting, so no one clip is going to be bigger than 3.999999999GB. The only way you would exceed this is if you recorded a 2 hour event by pressing the record button once and letting it run without stopping. Even then, Canon probably has a workaround where they divide it up into 2 files that are each smaller than 3.999999999GB.
So if the camera can accept FAT32, why can't iMovie? The reason is that on import, iMOvie converts the highly compressed AVCHD into full frames of Apple Intermediate Codec. The file size will typically increase by a factor of 8 to 10. So now it is quite possible to have a clip that exceeds the 4GB limitation. So iMovie does not allow FAT32 as a valid file structure.

Different retention policies for RMAN

Hi@all,
on our DB Server with RHEL 6 and Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 we're creating the following backups with RMAN:
- every day at 11:00 pm Level 0 backup
- every day at 05:00 am, 11:00 am and 05:00 pm Level 1 backup
I've activated this retention policy:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
So every backup is obsolete after 7 days. We use the control file and no recovery catalog. We have to get so much backups in front of SLA's.
Now (in front of our physical disk space) i want to switch the retention policy to the following:
- Fullbackups (level 0)should be obsolete after 7 days
- incremental backups (level 1) should be obsolete after 2 days
- arch. redologs should be obsolete after 7 days (i like to use LogMiner and mostly i need the arch. redo logs from the last 7 days in our company)
Is it possible in RMAN to define different retention policies for the different types of backups?
Thanks for your help and regards,
David

- arch. redologs should be obsolete after 7 days (i like to use LogMiner and mostly i need the arch. redo logs from the last 7 days in our company)
Is it possible in RMAN to define different retention policies for the different types of backups?
Thanks for your help and regards,
David
You misunderstand what retention policy is and how it works.
When you say 'retention policy 7 days' you are telling rman to keep everything -- all backups of all types -- that are necessary to recover to any point within the last 7 days. If you say 7 days, rman makes the decision on what he needs to recover, not you.
And note that all recovery begins with the most recent full backup prior to the requested point in time. So if you are taking a level 0 backup every seven days, with a 7 day retention, six days into the cycle, you will still need the level 0 backup from 13 days ago, so rman will not consider it obsolete.

RE: CS4 Premiere Pro -> what is best to backup/archive video to minimize size?
I use export>media to adobe media encoder. I am using the avi. the avi file generated seems large. i.e. for 27 minutes the file is 6 gb.
what is the best format to use to minimize file size?????
any help will be appreciated and thks in advance.

That's the wrong question to ask. Ideally you don't change anything about the original media for backup. It's size it it's size, and you get enough of whatever you nee to accommodate that.
