Hello,
I'm new to Oracle and RMAN. I've just set up RMAN backups as follows:
* Full backup every week on Sunday
* Incremental backups on the other nights
* Retention is to keep 2 backups (CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;)
* File system backups (outside of Oracle) copy the backup files to tape after the backup has completed.
* Issue the "delete noprompt obsolete" command to clean up the file system
Basically, I want the ability to restore to the latest 4 backups, but I only have storage to keep 2 sets of backups on disk. Will the above strategy support this? Do I need to set any other configuration parameters?
Thanks,
Maria

I actually have space for 3 backups. I understand that the REDUNDANCY 2 will allow me to keep 2 backups, and I need space for 3 because it won't delete the backup until it's successful. My question centers around recovery. Can I recover the latest 4 backups if the parameter is set to 2.
