Removing old backups
Data Protection for Oracle uses the IBM® Storage Protect backup repository. Each database backup creates an object with a unique name. Since these objects have unique names, they always remain active and never expire. The database administrator (DBA) can control and coordinate copies that are removed from the IBM Storage Protect server with RMAN.
Before you begin
Ensure that backdelete=yes is specified by the IBM Storage Protect administrator during registration of your node. Specifying this parameter gives you permissions to delete backup objects.
About this task
Note: Make sure to use the same tdpo.opt file
that was used for the original backup. Using this file enables the
backup objects to be found on the IBM Storage Protect
server.
