Hi all,
Here is an outline of the backup strategy in our shop: Every night three seperate crons jobs will do the following :

1. Delete anything that is older than one day from the backup directory.
2. Scheduled RMAN Scripts kick off overnight to do hot backups to disk.
3. The generated backup files are dumped to tape by server backups scheduled by Unix SAs.

The part I am not certain of is, is this the standard way to delete old backups generated by RMAN?

TIA Tim
