Oracle RMAN Plug-in: Intended long-term use of Force Delete

Post by rin »

Hi,

I would like to understand the intended usage of the Force Delete feature in Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN.

The documentation describes Force Delete as a mechanism that automatically removes backup files older than the configured number of days.
Is this feature intended to be enabled continuously as part of normal operations for Oracle RMAN backups?

If so, are there any known limitations, considerations, or best practices for long-term use?

Additionally:
1. Are there any known performance impacts associated with keeping Force Delete enabled over time?

2. Are there any operational considerations when using Force Delete together with Oracle RMAN retention policies (for example, recovery window retention or KEEP UNTIL TIME)?

3. Is Force Delete primarily intended as a temporary housekeeping mechanism, or is continuous use considered a supported and recommended deployment model?

Could you please clarify the recommended usage from a product perspective?

Best Regards,
Rin
