Hello all.

I recently found a cool script for my Oracle environment. The script works as is should but the script has two limitations that I can't solve by my self.

First of all, the backup files created by this script tend to be pretty big. I've read about how to compress backup files and also implemented some of these thoughts in this script. However, nothing seems to help, and I don't know really how to move further.

Seconds thing I need help with is to figure out how to remove older backups. This script stores all backups on the disk with today's date. However, I want the script to remove the all other backups after it's done with todays backup. So, the only backup that should be stored is todays backup (this sounds little fuzzy, I know)

I hope that someone could actually help me out with this cause I am not so good at oracle at all.

I attached the script.

If you don't post it we can't help neither.

What does this mean? Figures? Same remark as above.

If you use FRA and retention policy you have nothing to do Oracle will do it automatically.

Remember that documentation is your FIRST point of knowledge: Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide

Yes, I've tried Google but honestly I don't know really what to look for. Are you telling me that there is a script that I can use or some other function that I can embed in the attached script file?

Assuming you have flash recovery area enable and you take backup in it, Then
Set
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
which is default one.
Then issue,
RMAN> delete obsolete;
