Hi folks,
I want to gzip up my rman backups, which are to disk. I do a full at the
weekend, and archive logs daily. I know that rman cant cope with zipped
files, and I will have to unzip them myself before attempting a restore. My
question is - does rman ever check existing backup files - will it look for
the last full backup before backing up todays archive logs etc - or once
backed up, does it ignore backup files until I ask for a restore?
My databases's are OLTP, with a datafile | tablespace containing each days
partitions. Apart from system, rbs there are only transaction tablespaces
(one per day) in the database. Assuming I can switch each transaction table
to read only at end of day, back it up as a datafile using rman, and back
up rbs & system, then I can can discard all archive logs for that day -
right? So a typical scenario will have 14 datafiles backed up (the DB keeps
2 weeks data), each with RBS & system from that day, and archivelogs for
the last day only for PIT recovery. Im about to spend a few days testing
this out - anyone know if it will work/fail?
Thanks
