Tape retention policy

• Retention policy for archive logs.

  Retention policy is set to "REDUNDANCY 2".

  We do the complete disk backup without archive logs at 12:00.

  After that, we make full backup with newspapers to archive tape at 18:00.

  RMAN will consider newspapers to check-in after 12:00 as obsolete as it is backed up to tape?

  Thank you.

  REDUNDANCY applies only to the data files and control files. For archiving logs, there are POLICY of DELETE ARCHIVELOG. But "remove obsolete" won't use POLICY of DELETE ARCHIVELOG, so archiving logs should be removed separately if they meet this policy.

• What is the Mozilla user data retention policy unique identifier?

  I read recently in the privacy policy of FF that an ID unique browser is sent to Mozilla with an IP address whenever the browser checks the updates:

• Custom data retention policy

  Hi all

  Is it possible to set up below the retention to Foglight (5.6.10) policy.

  * Save 10 minutes for 90 days and then purge *.

  Kind regards

  Roshan Varughese

  Hi Roshan,

  You must set all three generations in the custom retention policy to preserve data for 10 minutes.

  Please find the custom in FMS UI retention policy under: management data/servers/server management / retention policy/policy current. Here, select the menu drop-down and click custom.

  Once there you should be able to select 10 minutes for each generation, then purge the data after 3 months. (see image below)

  Keep in mind that political detention is very granular and the size of your database is likely to increase. Also, when you use larger slots in the user interface, the server will have to deal with more values and will add a certain amount of overhead.

  More information in Foglight documentation - creation of custom retention policies.

• Problems with the retention policy that removes a Cumulative incremental backup

  Hello

  I have following two scripts:

  1 RMAN script runs the weekend and made a full backup of level 0.

  2 RMAN script works on a daily basis and a level 1 Cumulative backup.

  at the end of each script I delete noprompt obsolete redundancy 1; (I don't need a single copy of local disk)

  My problem is that it seems that remove obsolete handles only level 0 (full) backups.

  for example, my goal is:

  Saturday = > level 0 + delete obsolete (level 0 + all the incremental)

  Sunday = > obsolete level 1 cumulative + delete

  Monday = > level 1 cumulative + Delete obsolete (backup Sunday)

  etc...

  What happens in reality is rather that remove obsolete Monday, completely ignores Sunday 1 cumulative level.

  and he keeps all the up to the next level 0 backup

  its actually covered in the Oracle Documentation:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#BRADV8400

  but it's just not make sense.

  in order to have redundancy of 1 copy I only need to level 0 + unique Level 1 cumulative backup.

  I don't have level 0 + all level 1 cumulative backups between full backups.

  
  

  so my question is there a way to make the retention policy to keep only the last level 1 cumulative?
  

  It's true window of 1 day recovery ignores several backups of cumulativ made the same day as being obsolete. Regular retention strategies rman probably cannot provide what you want. You can manually identify the backupset and delete them or change of cumulativ backups to incremental backups.

  That would save the space of several cumulative backups and and would work even for several backups on the same day. Of course with the disadvantage that you need all of the incremental backups and your recovery time may be longer

• RMAN retention policy

  Hello everyone, I think to create a retention policy, but the problem is if I want to have the backup that ran daily from detention for 15 days and each backup run a monthly backup for a year which is the best option to set up the recovery window retention policy, because if I set with 365 days I'm going to keep daily backups for the whole year, suggest or advise

  Hello

  set the retention policy for 15 days (daily policy):

  RMAN > CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY to RECOVERY WINDOW OF 60 DAYS;

  And add keep until 'sysdate + 365' monthly backup.

  RMAN > backup format incremental level 0 '% d.n0.%T.set_%s_%t' TAG data = 'BK_DATA_monthly_20150501' keep until 'SYSDATE + 365' opens a session;

  If you can make backup maintenance with delete obsolete;

  RMAN > remove force noprompt obsolete;

  
  

  It works with oracle 9i, 10g and 11g

• Retention policy for the grid control

  Hello

  One of our clients wants to change the retention policy of the Grid control to 2 years in order to check the statistics of the application of these last 2 years,

  Default purge policy is as follows:

  Raw metrics - 7 days

  An hour aggregate metrics data - 31 days

  A day aggregate metrics data - 365 days

  Having someone of you will never change these default policies to a great values?

  I'm afraid of performance issues

  Depends on what policy they want change, but I n ' tthink this will help you at all.  If they are looking for AWR data, it is not stored in MS, unless you configure CWA warehouse.   EM will be measures such as SQL response time, but it does not store the SQL query and the stats you'd see in an AWR report.   Storing so for 2 years will not help.  If you want just generic performance history, then changing strategies of purge will be fine, but you don't want to store the raw data for 2 years. Keep in mind that you will increase the size of your repository database as well.

• RMAN: Deletion retention policy policy VS Archivelog

  I am a newbie to RMAN, so I did a lot of reading and experimentation, and I'm stuck on a problem.

  TASK: I want to keep two days of archived newspapers and a days worth of backups.

  SOLUTION: set 1 retention policy, set the deletion policy to archive 2

  (CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION of SAVED POLICY 2 TIMES TO THE DISK.)

  and it's my simple backup script

  run

  {

  database backup "nightly_backup" tag more archivelog;

  delete noprompt obsolete;

  }

  PROBLEM: it does not work. Oracle documentation clearly (as clearly as possible the documentation) that "remove obsolete" uses the retention policy to clear logs archived. and deletion policy deletion archivelog to use "delete archivelog all;

  My tests verifies this.

  ISSUE. How remove the database obsolete backupsets ONLY by using the delete command?

  -Mark

  Just for clarity - if other people who have this issue will find this thread-I found the answer.

  Two policies are in effect only when you use the quick recovery for all your backup needs area. The database will automatically manage files according to policies. But as soon as you run manually ' rman > delete noprompt obsolete ' Oracle will only follow the retention policy.

  So as soon as FRA got up to about 78 percent full, he began to delete files, you can see in the alert.log

  Deleted Oracle managed file +FRA/sndbox/backupset/2014_07_23/annnf0_nightly_backup_0.435.853650191

  Deleted Oracle managed file +FRA/sndbox/archivelog/2014_07_23/thread_1_seq_204.439.853668327

  Deleted Oracle managed file +FRA/sndbox/autobackup/2014_07_23/s_853650247.441.853650249

  Deleted Oracle managed file +FRA/sndbox/archivelog/2014_07_23/thread_2_seq_189.434.853668653

  Another consequence of this fun is that Oracle will not automatically manage files outside of the FRA. So, if you save FRA on the disk, Oracle removes only files of FRA. If you must manually remove FRA backups, but which will also remove the FRA files according to the retention policies.

• Space calculation and retention policy

  Hi guys

  I have this scenario at the moment, I have 29 virtual machines around 3.5 TB of storage used. All are thin provisioned.

  I have to put in place a retention as this policy:

  Weekly backup on Saturday and this weekly backup will be kept for 4 weeks each.

  The last backup to the month must also be kept for 6 months.

  So I'm thinking something like that

  0 daily

  4 times a week

  6 months

  OK my question is there a way to figure out / calculate how much space I need in 6 months?

  will be enough 1 device VDP 2 TB or I'm going to need 2 devices of VDP 2 to each for the safeguarding of the balance jobs and achieve this political detention?

  Thank you very much

  With VDP offers better deduplication, a 2 TB should ideally be enough too, given your retention policy that seems good. But if a few extra GB of memory is not a big problem for you, deploying another device of 2 TB and load balancing are also a good option.

• Recovery window retention policy removes the archive logs before backup?

  Hi all

  Oracle 11G on Windows 2008 R2

  This afternoon, I've changed my retention policy RMAN "RETENTION POLICY 3 REDUNDANCY"on RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS RETENTION POLICY

  However, I checked tonight and after that my daily backup, all the archive before backup logs had been removed! So that means I don't think I can restore to any point in time, before my daily backup. All newspapers .arc were there after the backup. Then I tried another test and began the daily backup again. During the backup process, archive logs were deleted again! Now, I don't have any archives of newspapers...

  Is this good behavior OF RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW? I thought that she would keep all the files needed for to restore me to any point in time for the previous 3 days. When I used a REDUNDANCY, with my daily backups, he kept 3 days of backups + archiving logs so that I could restore point-in-time at any point. How can I use WINDOW RECOVERY so that I can actually restore to any point in time for the 3 days?

  I wanted to change WINDOW of recovery, since I read that using the REDUNDANCY, it keeps only X copy a backup (so if I ran the backup 3 times a day, I would have only these 3).

  Thanks in advance.

  After a database RESTORE, Oracle tries to RECOVER a DATABASE.  He tries to 'find' the archivelogs for this phase in the location expected archivelog.  If they are NOT present in the location expected archivelog, it attempts to restore backups before applying them.

  Since your BACKUP... DELETE ENTRY deletes the archivelogs after that that they are saved, Oracle will have to use backups to recover the archivelogs.

• backup with the retention policy to recovery of N days window

  Hello

  I did command to create an incremental backup of database with the configuration:

  run

  {

  Configure retention policy to recovery of 14 days window;

  backup incremental level 1 cumulative

  tag daily_incr_14_days

  database

  more archivelog delete all input;

  }

  All parameters are set to their default values, and backups of data goes to FRA. I've got catalog recovery connected and all the views RC_ at my disposal.

  (1) is it possible to know which window of recovery has been used for any command in the rman backup or query view RC_ or local database (control file information)?

  (2) if I use other settings of window of recovery with command configures which would overlap or report rman commands do?

  backup retention policy

  A policy defined by the user to determine how long the backups and archived logs must be kept for the media recovery. You can define a retention policy in terms of redundancy backup or a recovery window.

  RMAN keeps backups of data files that are required to meet the current retention policy, and all logs archived redo necessary to a complete recovery of data files.

  Recovery window

  A recovery window is a type of RMAN backup retention policy, in which the ADMINISTRATOR specifies a period of time and RMAN ensures the retention of backups and Archives redo logs required for recovery to point-in-time at any time during the recovery window.

  The interval always ends at the present time and is extended in time for the number of days specified by the user. For example, if the retention policy is set for a window of recovery of seven days and the current time is 11:00 Tuesday

  RMAN maintains the necessary backups to recover point-in-time at 11:00 the previous Tuesday.

• Backups RMAN does not match its retention policy

  Hello

  I have two or three instances of PROD on Windows environment with 11.2.0.3 version of DB. RMAN retention policy is set to 14 days, but I noticed that the backup is showing greater than that.

  For example: backups whows LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE since October 13. I also checked the elements of part of netapp backup and they are present.

  DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE do not remove whatever it is like expired backup.

  I have clear and defined retention to 14 days over policy but doesn't seem to work.

  We would need to know what kind of backups and where they were taken.  Imagine this scenario:

  7-day retention strategy.

  Level 0 incremental backup taken on Sunday

  Backup incremental level 1 taken Monday at Sam.

  Let's say that October 1 is a Sunday, so we take an Inc.-0 backup on October 1 and again on Oct. 8.

  Now let's say that we are at 10 Oct.  Our 7-day retention policy dicatates that we can recover any day of return to 3 Oct.

  The only way we can find to 3 Oct is to start with this backup Inc.-0 Oct. 1.

  Recovery all starts with last Inc.-0 backup before the point in time to be recovered.  In a normal life, regularly cycling calendar of backups, actually will end you with backups 1 day far twice also older than your retention period.

  A more extreme example.  Same period of retention of 7 days, but after a single backup Inc. - 0, you don't take any backups of 3 months.  That only a backup is always necessary to apply your window of recovery and therefore is not obsolete, despite the fact it is 3 months old and your recovery window is 7 days.

  Also, you mention "expiration".  Regarding backups oracle, 'expired' isn't the same as "obsolete".

  "Obsolète" means "is more necessary to apply the principle of recovery."

  "Expired" is a little more complex.

  When a backup is performed, or an archivelog is written, an account of which is written in the repository.  When you do a 'crossover' rman, these repository records are compared to reality - to see if the archivelog or saved backup file actually exists.  Maybe someone used an OS command to delete them.  Any file found "go walkabout" have their directory of files marked as "expired".  An rman "expiration to delete" then delete the records in the repository.

  If I have to restore the backup set removed in the FRA, Cross Check and restore the database using RMAN to 27/09?

  Q. Why are some today (10/10/13) archival newspapers marked OBSOLETE?

  Q. If I wanted to be able to restore the database for 2 days, is perhaps a policy of conservation of a day 2 Recovery window might be better than my current redundancy = 2 policy (associated with a daily backup)?
