DELETE ONLY 3 DAYS BACKUP FROM RMAN

Hi,
How we can delete only 3 days of backup from RMAN.
Our retention policy is 15 days.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a strange requirement, but nonetheless, you could issue:
RMAN> list backupset;and then find the backups that correspond to the days in question and then delete them with:
RMAN> delete backupset <day3_backupset#>, <day5_backupset#>, <day7_backupset#>;

  • I am trying to delete a Time Machine backup from a Time Capsule.

    I am trying to delete a Time Machine backup from a Time Capsule.  The file is about 400GB and my MacBook has been trying to delete it for 5h now. It still says "deleting" but has not given me a "time remaining" yet. Any idea of what I could do????

    You should not attempt to delete backups using the Finder. The result can be a corrupted backup.
    I recommend you let it complete, no matter how long it takes. That could be days, if your TC is connected via wireless.
    It is not necessary to delete backups, since Time Machine will delete old backups some time after they have been deleted from your source volume. For more information read Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini's explanation here: Should I delete old backups? If so, How?

  • I sent my iphone for repair. before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of august). no i got my phone back but in iTunes I only see a backup from 21st of july. How can I access my latest back up?

    I sent my iPhone to Apple for repair. Before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of August). Today I got it back, but my iTunes only shows me a backup from 21st july and from today. How can I access my  backup from 7th of august?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • How can I delete ONLY the GPS coordinates from my Hi Res images WITHOUT "Save four Web" or Lightroom

    Hello,
    I take hi res pics of rare wildlife and plants with both my Camera's and iPhone's GPS deliberately ENABLED. Use the photos and their GPS coordinates to document and plot my sightings with dates on maps. CANNOT disclose those locations to others. I do want to keep the metadata in my pics to the very end.
    Use Photohop Extended CS 6 MAC. Save files as hi res TIFF or PSD and sometimes e-mail/upload my pics to the web when I'm done.
    I CANNOT use "Save for Web" to delete my metadata — I don't want the jpeg's lossy compression. Need to preserve color profiles.
    Don't have Lightroom.
    How do use Photoshop to remove ONLY the GPS coordinates from my hi res images EXIF data??? Want to keep other EXIF data.
    Surely Adobe can provide this life-saving service?
    Thanks

    Yep, as others mentioned, just use Bridge and delete the entries there.  You can select a whole batch of files and do them all at once.

  • Went from an iphone 4 to a 4s to a new 4 and itunes only sync last backup from first iphone 4. How can i get my texts, photos, calendar data back?

    Had an iPhone 4, lost it, bought a 4s, got stolen. Now I bought another iPhone 4, tried to sync it with itunes, I only get the data up to the last day I used the old iphone 4, all data, texts, photos, calendar during the use of the 4s no longer shows on my phone when I sync it with itunes

    When you say that it recognizes both phones are you sure you aren't just seeing both backups?  iCloud should back up your new phone if you have iCloud Backup turned to On in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup.  But you may still have the old backup stored in your account as well when you check in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on the Backups list.  If you no longer need the backup of your old phone, tap it and then tap Delete Backup.

  • Backup from rman coldbackuk

    DB 10.2.0.5
    OS Linux
    I restore the database from a rman cold backup. I am getting the below error while starting the database.
    SQL> alter database open;
    alter database open
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open
    Is it needed to start the database in resetlog mode after rman cold backup restore.

    Yes. RMAN does not backup the online redo log files. In order to open the database, the redo log files need to be created using the RESETLOGS option. Alternatively, you can use the OS to perform a backup of all files while the OS is shutdown, including the redo log files.

  • Need to delete old time machine backups from a external drive

    was using a 500 gb external drive for time machine so when i upgraded to time capsule 2 tb i just started all over basically. i have these back ups abd videos i wanted to delete from the toshiba dr but appear and attempt to erase securely everytime i need to connect the toshiba to my mac to transfer stuff. i want to use this disk with whats on there like videos and music but i cant seem to figure out how to delete these backups...

    Don't try to transfer any old backups to your new TC TM backup drive. Just create a new complete backup. I hope you aren't someone that is trying to store files in a TM backup that you have deleted from your internal hard drive. That is not what TM is for and eventually those deleted files will be removed/deleted from the TM backups.

  • Deleting the time machine backup from an external hard drive

    I wanted to delete the backup because I got another hard drive for that and wanted to free up the space on this one that I had been using for that, and so I moved the whole Backups.backupdb file to the trash. I think I've learned the hard way that is not the way to do it.  Now I can't get it out of the trash, and it continues to take up space on the hard drive. Secure empty doesn't do it. I repaired permissions, and the drive itself in disk utilities, which didn't help. I have a lot of other stuff on that disk which I would like to keep, so I don't want to wipe the whole thing. Please help.

    Next time just use Disk Utility and Erase the Drive, it will be much faster and a whole lot less trouble.
    In fact it might not hurt to do that as well, after you get the Trash emptied.

  • I've mistakenly deleted Time Machine backups from my external HDD. How do I fix this?!

    I manually deleted several Time Machine backups from my external HDD. Whenever I attempt to empty trash, it states (error code -22) has occurred. How do I fix my predicament?
    I understand (now) that I should never do this and ONLY delete from the Time Machine app itself but I did not assume this would be so complex by taking a blind stab at it. How do I either a) place the Time Machine backups where the originated (Put Back is not an option when right-clicked) or b) successfully delete these so I can clear my bin.
    I am running Mac OS 10.10 on a 13" MacBook Air (mid-2013) w/ 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. My external drive is a 5400 RPM WD USB 2.0 External Hard Drive.

  • Removing RMAN backup files from RMAN prompt

    DB version: 10.2.0.4
    OS : AIX
    Due to space constraints, we had to change our retention policy today. So, i need to remove some old backup files manually to free up some space. Should i remove the backup files from OS using rm command and then issue a
    delete expired backup;from RMAN prompt?
    Or is there another recommended way?

    If you remove them manually from the O/S, then you'll have to perform a CROSSCHECK BACKUP prior to the DELETE EXPIRED.
    Or once you change your retention policy you could issue DELETE OBSOLETE, which may be the safer way to ensure you don't accidentally remove wrong backup files.

  • I can't delete my backups from my external harddisk, what do I do?

    I have tried to delete some om the backups from my external harddisk, but it only through them into the trash. When I then try to empty my trash nothing happens, it just stays there. If I then try to remove my harddisk it's gone, but when I put it back in I appears again...

  • How do I restore a Time Machine backup from a newer MacBook Pro to an older MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro is in the shop and am using my older MacBook Pro in the meantime. I want to restore my older computer with the lastest backup from my newer computer, but I'm not able to see/access the backups from my newer computer - I can only see the backups from my old computer. Any suggestions?

    That is probably due to the older computer being too old.
    You can do a manual restore to a USB drive plugged into the computer. Then select the files you want.
    See pondini Q14-17 on restore.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Particularly 16 and 17.
    You tend to migrate from older to newer computer and OS.. and it is not going to work the other way around.

  • Time Machine - Backup from One Ext HD to Another Ext HD?

    I'm sure this has been asked before but my searches have come up empty.
    I'm currently setup on a 27" iMac (about 18 months old) and currently using Time Machine to backup my internal hard drive to an external raid setup.  However, I keep all of my media files on an external hard drive rather than take up much needed real estate on my internal HD.
    My question - is there anyway thru Time Machine to backup my external media drive to another extrnal drive, which is part of my raid setup?  All externals are hooked up to the iMac and the iMac is recognizing all drives.
    Or is Time machine limited in nature to only allow copying/backup from the internal drive to some other peripheral drive?
    Thanks!!

    Time Machine can back up from multiple volumes, but only to a single volume.  
    Internal volumes are backed-up by default; external volumes are excluded by default.  Go to Time Machine Prefs > Options.  The external should be listed in the exclusions box there.  If it's shown in black, just select it and click the minus sign at the bottom.   It will be included on the next backup.
    If it's listed in gray, however, it's not formatted HFS+ (any variation of Mac OS Extended), Time Machine can't back it up, and you can't remove it.
    If there isn't room on your external, and you can't expand the partition your backups are on, you'll need a different app, such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
