RMAN Plugin backups: how to have a "GFS like" retention?

Post by tinto1970 »

Good day, one of our customer would like to use a 60 days retention fo the Oracle RMAN backup, but he needs to keep in example

a Full backup (monthly) for 12 months
a Full backup (yearly) for 3 years

I have found this post https://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-p ... ntion-3563

and probably that's what he needs. But in case, it's no longer possible to manage the plugin from the Veeam Server, I guess. Am I right?

thanks in advance

Hi Alessandro,

Yes, this example suits for the standalone mode but cannot be used when the plug-in is in managed mode. GFS retention is one of our most popular requests for Oracle RMAN backup policy but ETA is yet to be determined.

Thanks!
