Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN: backup archivelog until time 'sysdate-2' delete input
Roger - I don't see where you mentioned your Oracle version. RMAN has been
notorious for being picky about the date format. I've generally heard of
this in terms of recovery times and with Oracle 8i. Since I back up RMAN to
disk, I don't use RMAN to backup the archive logs, so I haven't encountered
this specific problem. Looking at Freeman's great Oracle9i Backup and
Recovery, he uses the syntax:
'backup archivelog from time 'sysdate - 1';

Subject: RMAN: backup archivelog until time 'sysdate-2' delete input
Hi list,
It was "Mon Oct 11 16:12:07 CDT 2004" and I ran the following
RMAN> run {
2> backup 3> format '/oback/obckp/redo-logs/DV2_%s_%p.logs' 4> archivelog until time 'sysdate-2' delete input; 5> }
Since I specified "sysdate-2", I expected it only archive/delete up to "Oct
09 16:12:06".
Was I right? But the truth is it archived/deleted redo file "1_1440.dbf",
which was created
between "Mon Oct 11 00:12:40 2004" and "Mon Oct 11 00:42:39 2004". WHY?
My last three redo files was:
