RMAN PITR
Hi:
I have configured an Rman recovery window of 5 days for my prod environment. I keep the five days worth on disk in case recovery is needed. Because diskspace is not infinite, I copy (not move) the files to tape after a week to manage disk space. Every 2 weeks I execute the delete obsolete command to remove backup files on disk that no longer meet the configured value of 5 days.
My question is: If for whatever reason, I have to issue a PITR going 2 months back or more and bring the necessary files back from tape, can I still restore/recover the database that far back or will I have problems because of the value for recovery window being set to 5 days.
