Dear all,
I have set the RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW Values to 2 days,but my backup sets which backuped before 2 days(30-NOV-11),and the backup set is avaliable also,i think it must be expired or obsolete,why?

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf_oracl.f'; # default

Nope.
A recovery windows of 2 days means you can restore and recover the database at any point in time in the last 2 days.
As you have no backup later than the 30/11 this one is needed to recover the database accordingly to your policy.

Michel

A backup from today does not allow you to restore the database at yesterday point of time
and your policy requires it.

hi,
Michel,i don't know why the backup sets which backup at 30/11 have not be obsolete? because the 30/11 is out of the windows days(2).

It is not obsolete because it is the only one that allows you to restore and
recover at a point in time yesterday and your policy asks RMAN should be able to do so.
2 days after your last backup, the 30/11 backup will be obsolete.

Michel

I can't say more that what I said.
Remove the backup and try to recover your database to yesterday and you will see can't
and so this proves it necessary to keep it.
The recovery window means the window during which you must be able to restore and recover;
it has no direct relation with the backup time.

Michel
