RMAN backup schedule problem

Hi,

In my setup I configured the RMAN backup. Its automatically takes the schedule as default application backup. But in a week it doesn't  take the backup  all the days.On some days its working fine and on some days its not working. I am manually running the script and taking the backup. how can I synchoronise the schedule for all the days of the week.can any one help me on this.

  • Your policy shoudl have TWO schedules - one calls the other.

    One is type Automatic, one is type Application Backup.
    The Application one should be filled to allow anytime running. It is called by the Automatic one.

    What is the start schedule for that schedule?



  • When you set up your schedule, what hours do you have it allowed to run?

    I beginner mistake is to set the backup to run every 1 day or 24 hours on the schedule tab, but if you only run it from 8 to 12, you should set it to something smaller like every 6 or 8 hours - so it always starts at the begining of your schedule.

    So if you have it running only on Mondays, set it to run every 5 days - not 7.

    Sorry if I have confused you.
