RMAN backup destination

Question

Hi
Is there any way to mention the RMAN backup destination for datafiles and archivelog files with their exact name?
e.g
backup as backupset
format 'c:\backup\'
filesperset 1
database plus archivelog all;
Backup will be stored in c:\backup with the actual name of the files.
Destination has to be other than the FRA.
Regards

Answer 1

Does this mean if I use non FRA then 'delete force
noprompt obsolete;' will not delete the obsole
backups from non FRA destinations?
-- but I have checked it is deleting even from the
non FRA location also.
no i didnt mean to say that i mean to say if you dont use FRA for backup strategy then you are also not using OMF (Oracle managed files) cause one of the parameter db_recovery_file_dest_size define location of RMAN backups which enable also the OMF and its advantegous to use OMF cause it reduce wasted disk space consumed by obsolete files by deleting itself when FRA pressure goes to 85%.
You can mock up this situtaion by enabling FRA which in turn enable OMF and start taking backup iteratively when oracle see the space goes to 85% then OMF will remove the earliest obsolete files,you can check it in yours oracle alert log files where you will find
Deleted oracle managed files '<filename>'
I hope yours confusion is cleared now.
