How does RMAN react when backup volume is out of space

4187794Feb 12 2020 — edited Feb 17 2020

Our Lead DBA has fallen ill, and I'm having to get my learn on fast.. I am currently seeing a retention policy or redunancy 1, which I'm not thinking I'm a big fan of, but anyway - i'm trying to just understand a couple things before I delete obsolete -( because we are completely out of space.) What does RMAN do when the volume it is trying to backup to is full? Does it overwrite oldest data or not backup at all or something else?

Thank you,
