Controlfile_record_keep_count and list backup summary

Hello All:
I have the controlfile_record_keep_time=45. The list backup summary shows all the way upto October backups (over 100 days backup info). How is this possible? Are there any other params besides above?
Thanks

I think you are not purging expired backups. Once you do that, you should not see those expired backups. You should have retention policy set in your RMAN to get what you want along with some scripts that runs regularly to purge expired and obsolete backups.

  • RMAN LIST backup and maintain backup.

    Hi Experts,
    Currently we have some changes on the rman retention policy from 168days to 90days.
    RMAN Retention policy is:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
    And RMAN Scripts monthly backup is:
    run
    allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
    'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_monthly.opt)';
    backup as compressed backupset database tag ${SID}_MONTHLY keep until time 'sysdate+168';
    release channel t1;
    I believe I still have the old backup after I changed the 'sysdate+168' to 'sysdate+90'; on my scripts
    How do I manage to delete this ?
    Using, List backup and list backup summary will prompt me very long line and window,
    How do I create the CONFIGURE settings I can remove the allocate channel... on my scripts ?

  • Can't delete obsolete and expired backups.

    Every Sundays I create 0 level backup.
    Every Thuesdays I create 1 level comulative backup.
    Every other days I create 1 level incremental backup.
    Sometimes I need a free space for new backups and I try clean old backups.
    As I can understand, rman remove backups from 'list backup', but doens't delete physically from disk storage.

    I try to ask one more time.
    I make all backups in the folder \u06\backup.
    I make full backups every week.
    After command "crosscheck backup" all backups older 2 weeks must be mark as "OBSOLETE". This operation works correctly, becouse in "list backup" i look all backups for last two weeks and no older (for today they all made earlyer then 06/11/2011)!
    After crosscheck operation i try to delete old backups from HDD.
    RMAN> delete expired backup;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=2 device type=DISK
    specification does not match any backup in the repository
    RMAN> delete obsolete;
    RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
    RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 3 days
    using channel ORA_DISK_1
    no obsolete backups found
    But after this operation I look in my backup folder files since 02/10/2011. How to sync backups (delete obsolete backups from HDD) in rman list (command 'list backup') and in operation system list (command 'ls' in sun10)?

  • HT1386 Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone no longer appears near the top of my iTunes Window. The Summary lists items that I can sync with my iPhone such as "Music, Photos, Apps" etc.

    Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window.  "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items.  An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window.  Has anyone had the same issue?

    In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

  • IMovie 11 finds my backup disk and lists it in its event library

    I have a dirctory containing iMovie events on an external drive, with a backup (made by SuperDuper!) on a second external drive. In an attempt to be helpful, i guess, iMovie 11 finds my backup disk and lists the events thereon in its event library. It also appears to optimize it every time it finds it after a fresh backup.
    Can this behavior be stopped (short of ensuring that the backup drive is offline when I start iMovie)?

    I've downloaded the DataRescue and FileSalvage trials, and am currently scanning with DataRescue which will take another few hours. Thanks for those recommendations, its so useful to have a trial scan before buying.
    *General Question:* I noticed through these various attempts that reformatting extra drives in the current version of Disk Utility has become a little more dangerous than before. For example, I was reformatting a spare disk from FAT32 to HFS+ and the drive became unmountable. This never happened to me in earlier versions of OSX, and now it seems to happen every time, and partly why my partitions got all screwy. Any thoughts?

  • After updating to 4.2.1 and restore backup... apps,ipod info, sync tab gone

    after I finished updating my ipod touch 2nd & 4th gen to 4.2.1 and restore the backups.. a dialog box appeared
    "iTunes can't read the contents of the ipod xxxxIpod. Go to the Summary in ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings."
    and all my apps,my ipod name info, sync tab gone except "summary" tab where you can only restore to factory settings
    so I revert back to 4.1 and works fine again
    what's wrong with update 4.2.1??
    any solution for this??

    I decided to resync from a PC in work. I managed to set it up as a new phone and put on some podcasts no problem. So maybe the problem is with my itunes on my home PC ?
    I might try to re-install it at home.
    Good idea, but be aware that all media content will be erased again because you're syncing to a different iTunes library.
    If you have things to keep, back up manually by right clicking on the phone in the device list and choosing "backup".
    Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your PC to be able to merge your data during the first sync.
    Purchases can be transferred by right clicking and choosing "transfer purchases" without the sync process.

  • "list backup of tablespace" - Not coming out back to RMAN prompt

    Hi All,
    We have a script to perform the restore and recover test process.
    In that we have given the command "list backup of tablespace <tablespace name > summary" to check if the tablespace is backedup successfully.
    Its returning the list of backup pieces, but it hangs in that stage without coming back to RMAN prompt.
    I have manually loged in to rman session and typed "list backup of tablespace <tablespace name > summary", after listing the backup it hangs and not coming back to RMAN prompt.
    Please advice on this.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

  • Errors during LIST BACKUP after backup

    Checking my backup logs for ORA- or RMAN- errors brought up this:
    RMAN-06900:   WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
    RMAN-06901:   WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
      ORACLE error from target database:
    ORA-19921: maximum number of 64 rows exceededThat occurred during a "list backup" command that I run after my BACKUP DATABASE command. Files before and after that section run just fine. Is this something I need to be concerned with? Checking back, it looks like it's been happening in my level0 and level1 incrementals for about a week.
    This is on Oracle EE 10gR2 (10.2.0.2) on RHEL.

    hi,
    These warnings can be ignored and will not affect rman functionality.
    Depending on your RDBMS version :
    - Uptill 10.2.0.4 : Ignore the message
    - 10.2.0.5 or higher :
    Download Patch 8264365 to resolve this issue.
    Bug 8264365 is related to the RMAN-executable only, so NOT to the TARGET or CATALOG databases itself. So you need to patch the ORACLE_HOME used by the RMAN-executable.
    Thanks

  • RMAN Problem -- Crosscheck backup & list backup showing different results

    Pls Help !!!
    I'm using RMAN for backup policy is to recovery window of 7 days
    but even on thired day after incremental 0 backup ... if run 'crosscheck backup'
    it shows the previous as expired but when i issue 'list backup' it says available
    what may be the problem.......
    Backup volume is on RAID10 (ZFS on SOLARIS 10)
    Thanks in advance !!
    Regds
    Gyanendra Singh

    if run 'crosscheck backup'
    it shows the previous as expired but when i issueHave u deleted the previous backup...........because according to my knowledge crosscheck command is used to validate any inconsistency between the logical and physical backup files.
    'list backup' it says available
    what may be the problem.......
    List backup will show the previous backup because of the recovery window
    Try this
    crosscheck database
    delete expired
    list backup
    and then see the result

    Requirement is to use Cisco prime to do a discovery, inventory and take configuration backup for non-cisco devices. Is it something possible out of the box ?
    If not possible out of the box, is there any method to do that using any custom API ?
    Can we monitor 3rd party( Non-cisco) devices using Cisco Prime 2.2 ?

    RMAN> /** I left out some lines that seemed duplicate for my question - lines with the same SCN and some older archived logs. I can post the whole thing if it should turn out to be relevant.
    What SCN would be appropriate for me to use, taking into account this is a level 0 incremental backup, to restore to the point of a full backup?
    I'm fairly sure i can do the following: (and yes, this will result in a successful restore/recover)
    run{
    set until scn 690770341;
    restore database;
    switch datafile all;
    recover database;
    }     But is that really the point that I should recover to? The other alternative would be to recover to the SCN of those archivelogs at the very bottom?
    Thank you for any comments, whatever they are :-)

    I am copying the backups between different hosts (or external tape applications) and building the database from backups. So I create a blank instance and catalog the backup files, then specify an SCN to restore/recover.
    Would the SCN part be unneeded? I guess if I want to recover to the latest possible state, I do not need to specify any SCN :-). For testing purposes I only specified the full backup SCN to save time, but in the event this would be needed in a production environment, you are right that I would need to recover to the latest possible SCN. Thanks for pointing that out.
