RMAN Configuration Parameters
(With Examples)
Loc: One of the important configuration parameters to set
will be, where you want to save the RMAN backup. In the following example, I’m
settting the RMAN backup loacation as “/backup/rman/”
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT
'/backup/rman/full_%u_%s_%p';
Retention Period: Next, you should specify how long
you want to retain the backup for. When RMAN takes a backup, it automatically
deletes all the old backups that are older than the retention period. In the
following example, I’m setting the retention period as 7 days, which will keep
the DB backup for a week.
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY
WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
Verify that the above two changes are done.
RMAN> SHOW ALL;
..
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/rman/full_%u_%s_%p';
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7
DAYS;
..
Clear a Parameter: If you want to clear a parameter
and set its value to default, use CLEAR at the end of the configuration as
shown below.
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY CLEAR;
In this example, since we cleared the retention
policy’s value, it was set to the default value, which is 1. So, the retention
policy is set to 1 day as shown below.
RMAN> SHOW ALL;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; #
default
