Oracle Secure Backup not marking backups as deleted

edited Sep 8, 2015 10:27AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered

Hello guys,

     At my new job, they are short on disk space and they had been backing up the database to tape using Oracle Secure Backup. I have advised that they acquire more hard disk space so backups can be done directly to disk rather tape. Long story short, that has not happened and I have run into this problem where rman can't make any backups because OSB reports the backups on 25 tapes as active. My retention policy is 14 days, I do level 0 on sunday, level 1 on tuesday and friday, level 1 cumulative on friday and on

Howdy, Stranger!
