Hi All,
an RMAN backup has started to take 10 hours to complete whereas it used to take 4 hours. there is no catalog. the backup pieces are approx 80G in size and I have noticed that there are a large number of EXPIRED backup pieces. The system is Linux based and the backup is to disk. There is a single channel defined. One idea would be to set up 2 channels. any help would be appreciated.

regards

Did someone manually remove a ton of backupsets from the filesystem? If so, you should remove all those entries with the following:

RMAN> crosscheck backup;
RMAN> list expired backup;
RMAN> delete noprompt expired backup;

hi,
Thanks for the response. I have removed the expired backup sets but I have also noticed that there are a large number of obsolete backups, I have deleted these too.

regards

What version of oracle? and what version of rman executable you are using?

Are they going to tape? if yes,Are there any network changes in your environment which you are aware of and which you may not aware of?

How was backup going before? over direct attached fiber/copper or network?..How is it going now?

You can try with 2 channels.

However, if it used to run in 4hrs then there is something changed in complete backup process whichcis causing delay
