Greetings,

I am facing a strange issue with by RMAN backup management.
Backup  retention policy is set to REDUNDANCY 2 and there is a script which takes Full backup on Sunday, INC1 on weekdays  and simultaneously deletes all the obsolete backups or older than 15 days.

Upto some extent it works fine but  :
1st full backup completed on SUN(17-Dec) and other 2 INC0 weekly backups on SUN(24-Dec & 31-Dec) and as per our retention policy it (17-Dec bkp) should now be obsolete and our script should delete it from disk but that did not happened.(I have enough space on disks. so, I waited for complete 1 week to check how RMAN will behave now)Here comes the strange thing that my INC1 backups 21-Dec,22-Dec,23-Dec got deleted from disk by script(using RMAN command"delete noprompt obsolete;") and still I am having 17-20th backups.
