Howdy, all. We've got some ORACLE databases backed up to TSM and are plagued by foolishness in the RMAN connection to TSM. This has been discussed periodically here for a long time, but in a nutshell, Oracle doesn't clean up after itself, and active versions of the backup files corresponding to some operations hang around forever.
I'm wondering if any of you with oracle shops feel like your backups are being retained properly, and/or how you're dealing with the space? We're dealing with it using two different nodes which we switch back and forth occasionally, "-DB" and "-DB-OLD", and once -OLD has gotten old enough, we blow away its' filespace. Eugh. - Allen S.
