RMAN is not removing obsolete backups, causing my flashback area to fill.
Only parameter I have changed in RMAN is: REDUNDANCY 5.
When I do a "crosscheck backup", it does find backups from 07/17/2009 and says they are still there (48 files, 90gig). I had just run a full backup using enterprise manager 1 hour ago..
When I run:
RMAN>delete obsolete;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 5
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=129 devtype=DISK
no obsolete backup found
Rman>
Not sure where else to look. My archive logs are getting cleaned up just fine, so is the autobackup directory root. But items in the "backup" root of the flash_recovery_area are not getting obsoleted. I have done 5 backups since 7/31/09....so any files earlier than that should be deleted.
Any thoughts would help.
Thanks
