DB and RMAN are both 11.2.0.4 on Windows server 2008 (test environment)
I'm a beginner to RMAN.
I'm running a full backup everyday with a batch file. Both my Oracle Service and Oracle TNSListener services are running on a domain account. That domain account has full privileges to the folder that I'm writing to.
I have configure retention policy to recovery window of 3 days.
I have also specified recovery window of 3 days in my Run command
delete noprompt obsolete recovery window of 3 days;
delete noprompt expired backup;
Perhaps I misunderstood the functionality of recovery window of 3 days? Or I must be doing something wrong? None of the backup files are deleted. I have backups from October 3rd, 2014. That's when I started automating the backup process using windows scheduled tasks. So, in all, I have 5 copies of full backup; and not 3 copies.
Anyone can please help point me to the right direction?
Thanks
Ami
