CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;

CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT TAPE TO 3;

Since you do full backup every day and no incremental, then this might be 
possible as well.

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 7;

Keep in mind that I have not used RMAN since 9i, but still trying to keep up 
with it.

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Subject: RMAN backup retention policy - doubt

Hi all,

I want to know..in  our environment we have backup retention policy set in 
terms of days and also we do not take more than one copy of backup..and I think 
this is what is generally followed.

I could not exlain to my friend and so I wanted to know

assumtion - all are complete backup not incremental..

a) is there any relation between number of channels and backup policy based on 
number of copies, only
I know that channels can be configured for different devices..

so lets say if I have three 3 sbt devices and configured 7 channels (3 for sbt 
backup,  3 maintenace backup and 1 for disk backup)
and if suppose I want to change my existing backup policy from one set to three 
sets of backup..what I should do so that all these three sbt devices can be 
used simultaneiously and average backup time will be less

b) if suppose I want to alter my backup retention policy from number of days 
(5) to number of days (7) plus number of copies(from1 to 3) and above is the 
configuration..what changes I should do.

c) Following is sample environment setup
