Backup Schedule

[H_Sharma]

Hello Experts,

We have a RMAN policy in 7.6.0.1 Enterprise which has three schedules Full (Calender), and daliy(Incremental)Calender and achive (4 hours Frequncy based).

This policy's full backup runs for 3 days. during this period archive backup does not run and it may fill up disk space on the client.

So we created one separete policy  RMAN Archive schedue that wud run on the 3 days during Full backup for tesing puspose.

Its running. But I didnot grasp the concept

1:- if its full backup is runing why does not its archive backup run simultaneously as it has every 4 hours frequency?

2:- We created a separete policy for RMAN archive and it running every 4 hours . Should it run when its full backup is already running?

Pls help :)

its very simple.. it is not running since you created both Full and archive scheules in same policy..

netbackup does not tirgger another schedule from the same policy when one schedule is already running..

it is by Design...

only one schedule can be run automatically from one policy... 

so there is noting wrong... its always better to have 2 different polices for DB and archive logs.

You need to concentrate on the full backups taking 3 days to complete. This is way too long. There are a number of posts here about performance tuning of rman backups. Lots of info on Oracle website and Oracle forums as well.
