Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC)

Rman Delete to remove all backups before DB decommission.

Nov 7, 2023 5:12PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hello,

how to delete all old backups for decommission. I've tried setting Retention policy to

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 0 DAYS;

and

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO NONE;

neither will delete all old backups for DB to be decommission.

What is the best way to use RMAN to delete all old backups before commission?

Thanks in advance.
