RMAN full backup to two destinations, one may fail

edited Jun 9, 2017 5:00AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hi all,

I'd like to backup my database to two different destinations (two different NetApp

filers over NFS mounts). So, device type is DISK. A full backup in two places, not

a backup split over two destinations. What happens if one of the destinations is

not aceesible by RMAN?

If I use something like

  BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT '/disk1/%U', '/disk2/%U'

and one of the destinations is unreachable, the other backup won't start and I end up

with no backups at all.

I'm OK with one successful backup out of two. But how do I do that?

Thanks,

Howdy, Stranger!
