Hi Muthu, The retention time of Oracle backups is completely controlled by Oracle. Any Oracle backup always receive a unique name in TSM and will thus never expire. The backupsets must be deleted with RMAN scripts and RMAN will delete then the corresponding entries in the TSM database too. If you want to keep certain backups like 1YEAR and 5YEAR, I just would take a full export of the database and include it then in the FS backup of TSM. There you can store it to the corresponding management class. best regards, Kurt

Do we need to take case anything special while creating management class such as ONEYEAR and FIVEYEAR. Separately, how do we specify management class while backing up from RMAN?
