Hi All,

I am using RMAN to backup my Apps 11i Database. When RMAN applies the Retention Policy which is set to redundacy 1, its takes more than one hour. So the Whole backup takes 1 hour 30 mins.

If i apply the same script on the test environment, the backup finishes within 30 mins. What can be the reasons.

Enable debugging and try to find the step that's so slow. I's most likely a query against the catalog database.

RMAN> DEBUG ON;

There is no relation between retention policy and rman backup duration.
Search other things.

It may take slightly longer, but will write out a LOT of extra information. Look at the "elapsed time" of each call and compare it to the debug output on the faster system.
