Delete after making copies in Oracle Archive Logs backup
Hello,
Please help with this query, we have an Oracle RAC environment (two nodes) replicated to a remote site through DataGuard, the query is:
In the OIP, in the Oracle tab, we can activate the option in the backups of the Archive Logs "Delete after making copies", if we enable this option, after 3 satisfactory backups, NetBackup performs a cross-check and validates that the archive logs have they already been applied to the remote site before to remove them?
Regards!
Rafael
Hello,
yes it is validated, but not NetBackup, it is Oracle RMAN performing this crosscheck. If the archive logs are needed by DataGuard, their deletion will fail with the warning:
RMAN-08137: WARNING: Archived Log Not Deleted, Needed For Standby Or Upstream Capture Process
Regards
