I want to delete expired backups

Hey, I had manually deleted some backups, I didn't know about the "delete obsolete" command at the time. So when I do a "report obsolete" the expired backups are still showing and when I do a delete expired, it wont delete them since they were already deleted, but they are still showing up when i do a crosscheck and report obsolete.
So, my question is, is there anyway to tell rman that they have already been deleted? So they wont show up anymore?

Can you tell the output of CROSSCHECK and DELETE EXPIRED statements. RMAN marks backups and copies as expired when you run a CROSSCHECK command and the files are absent or inaccessible.

    Do you really want to delete the above objects (enter YES or NO)?Even after it says it deleted 4 EXPIRED objects, why does it show those same four pieces? How can I get rid of it? Obviously, it is EXPIRED, so I don't need it. I ran crosscheck command too. That didn't worked. I ran the delete with force and obsolete options too. They also did not worked. Please help. What am I missing?

    I tried that change command. But I am getting

  • Delete expired backup;

    Hi expert,
    i want delete expired backup of databae
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 7
    this is my RMAN Database setting
    how can delete RMAN backup ,
    i have take backup of every day.
    delete backup 'sysdate -2';
    but how can delete it?

    I think you are confusing the things.
    If you set a policy of REDUNDANCY = 7, then you want to keep 7 copies of the files in the backups.
    And that is excluded with DELETE OBSOLETE clause and not to DELETE EXPIRED clause.
    And also, if you define REDUNDANCY = 7, you may not use a DELETE SYSDATE-2, because there may be a file that was not backuped 7 times.

  • Time Machine deleted "expired" backups. Why?

    I want to know why Time Machine deleted some backups although the disk has plenty of free space available.

    Backups are alright so it is not an important issue but I am wondering if something in my preferences set is wrong.

    Time Machine keeps hourly backups for one day, then daily backups for a week, etc. What you are seeing is it deleting the daily backups form more than 24 hours ago. This is what it does, nothing to worry about.

  • 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.

    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)?

    You can issue a LIST BACKUP SUMMARY command. When you see the list of backups available. You can then go ahead and delete backups using the DELETE BACKUPSET <backupset id> command.
    By the way, check out TAHITI.ORACLE.COM for documentation on RMAN.
    Good luck

  • Time Machine deleted all backups

    Just got a TM error message saying my 3TB drive needed 1.68TB and there was only 1.3 TB available. I thought this unlikely as my target drive should only require an incremental backup (1.68TB being a full backup). So I clicked 'back up now' (daft, I know) and Time Machine deleted everything and started a brand new backup which I immediately stopped. The TM drive still says there's only 1.3TB available which means my older backups are still in there somewhere, right?
    While I don't think I've anything on the backup that I need, I'm worried how this could happen - 4 months of backups just vanished instantly.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    SNaP

    Thanks for the reply, Linc,
    First thing is there's no 'Starting standard backup' string, but I'm assuming the 'starting automatic backup' is our boy. I've deleted most of the texts where it says its 'deleting expired backups' (about 35 in all), and I've deleted other repetetive lines but I'm reluctant to delete more as I might be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The string finished with my creating a new Time Machine backup on a separate drive ('Storage 3'). The original Time Machine backup was named 'Mac Companion'. The two drives being backed up were 'SSD' and '2TB HD'.

  • Where/How do I delete my Backup of My Iphone 5.

    I am very limited space on My Iphone 5.
    And I want to back it up. So i can save all my Pics/Music/Info   on my comp / Or Icloud either.
    I want to back up my Iphone 5 so I can make space for new Pics/Songs/Contacts/ Apps..
    I just dont know how to delete the back up.
    Can Anybody help me??
    Thanks in Advance

    It's not clear from your post whether it's the iphone that is running low on free storage or your icloud account.
    If it's the iphone, you can't reclaim storage space by putting things on icloud (thereby not needing to store it on the iphone).  Most data that is stored on icloud is also stored on your iphone (like calendars, email).
    If it's icloud that you're running short of space, and want to delete a backup...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

  • How to find expired backup?

    Dear All,
    how to find expired RMAN backup?
    how it got expired?(according to which concept)
    expired RMAN backup not used to restore?
    If catalog database is their we need to register and then take backup?(is must?)
    sorry for easy questions..but i'm in situation to know?
    please help me :-)
    Note:oracle 9i
    Os:HP-UX
    regards,
    DB :-)
    Edited by: DB on Feb 9, 2013 2:42 PM

    Hello,
    Expired backups are those that are unavailable on the location that you had taken the backup (disk or tape). Running a "crosscheck backup" lists out the expired backups and also updates the repository saying that these backups have been expired. You can delete the expired backups using "delete expired backup".
    If you have the backups copied to a different location using OS commands and if the repository is not updated, then the crosscheck commands lists these backups to be expired. If these backups are required for a restoration purpose, then you can catalog them to the location where they are currently place using "catalog start with <path where the backup is stored>".
    Since you are on 9i, "catalog start with .." is not supported. May be you can use this DBMS_RCVMAN package but not sure about its usage.
    Regards,
    Shivananda

  • Manually deleting old backups in TM

    So, in a rush to create some Portable HD space I deleted some of my earlier Time Machine backups - manually. That got me thinking - am I fully backed up any longer?
    I was under the impression that the FIRST backup was the most important (you always remember your first) then the subsequent backups just added the difference that you'd put in!
    Shall I delete them all and start backing up from fresh?
    Any help would be much appreciated

    No, Time Machine is not like most traditional Full/Incremental backup systems. It's "magic" is that after the first full backup, it performs incremental backups, but each one is, in effect, a full one. Seems bizarre, but it's true. See [How Time Machine works its Magic|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Works.html].
    Shall I delete them all and start backing up from fresh?
    No. But there are two considerations here:
    You've obviously got other things on the same drive, in the same partition, as your backups. That's not a good idea. See #3 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you deleted the backups via the Finder or Terminal, that's not a good idea, either, and can damage them. Repair them, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you want to delete selected backups, or all backups of a selected item, you can do it via Time Machine. See #12 in the FAQ.

  • Time Machine does not appear to auto delete old backups

    I would like old backups to be automatically deleted, but so far does not appear to have occurred as I have not received any warnings. I have checked the box in the setup dialog box to do so. I have only 60GB remaining and receive warnings from Tech Tools that the free space threshold is at 2% remaining.
    Does the drive have to be fully exhausted before older backups are automatically deleted (causing the warning), and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
    I am using an OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro 2TB external drive with an eSATA connection. Our typical business files can range from 100 to 300MB each. In the Apple Support Mac 101 Time Machine article it states "As your backup disk begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Warn when old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences)." To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
    Thanks for any thoughts, Scott

    The oldest backup(s) won't be deleted until there isn't room for a new one. And "warning" is a bit misleading -- when there isn't enough space, the backup will fail, without deleting anything, until you deselect the option. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Note that this has changed for Snow Leopard; it does the deletion(s) automatically, then sends a notice.
    and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
    Yes. That accomplishes nothing. Time Machine manages it's space automatically.
    To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
    That's not strictly true; it applies only when Time Machine has to delete your oldest backups to make room for new ones. But it also deletes "expired" backups every time it does a new one. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • How can I delete the backups of my imac, that are stored on my macbook air.

    I wanted to transfer a folder (of 5 gigas) from my iMac to my macbook air (both running Lion OS) using a thunderbolt cable, so I started my macbook air on target disk mode (by starting it up while holding the key T) and on my iMac I went to the time machine utility, switched it on and selected the disk from the macbook air, I selected the folder, copied it to my macbook air's dekstop, the whole process took me less than 2 minutes. I disconnected the cable, turned the macbook air on and the folder was in the desktop as I wanted, however, it was created automatically a backup of my iMac on my macbook air. So now I am kind of lacking space and I want to delete the backup, but unfortunately, I can't find the backup on my macbook.

    .....and the name of the folder?
    press Command-F in the Finder to bring up a Finder search, and then click the plus button to the right of the search window to add a new filter. Then select "other" in the first drop-down menu to assign  new filters, followed by adjusting them
    Once completed, you can then search for a keyword, such as a file name.
