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

[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!

thank you very very much, Petr, for your kind and quick answer. I will explain this to my customer, and let's see what they will decide to do.

Have a nice day!
