Recovery using Multiple RMAN backupsets

Environment is Oracle Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.3, Solaris 10.

Full cold backups of our 3TB data warehouse are done with RMAN when possible. Sometimes, that is only once each month, due to system maintenance by Unix Ops or other business priorities.

I do not have enough space to archivelog. We spit out 350G of logs (each 1.2M) every week. We have approximately 580 tablespaces and about 630 datafiles. (I inherited that!!). Most of our partitioned tables are in monthly partitions, and they are never archived off. Only our daily partitioned tables have a limited retention policy of 90 days.

Currently, our RMAN backup takes about 13 hours, and the backupset is stored on a storage array where no other production files exist. The compressed backupset uses about 600m.

Howdy, Stranger!
