Hi

I have a multi tenant 19c database

below is the directory where my archives are generated

/erpprd64/oradata/prd64cdb/fast_recovery_area/PRD64CDB/archivelog/

in this I have a folder with today's date

2021_10_05

and below are archives generated in it

o1_mf_1_783_joqsfg35_.arc o1_mf_1_785_joqy8dk1_.arc o1_mf_1_787_jor31mh6_.arc o1_mf_1_789_jor7wz6n_.arc o1_mf_1_791_jorf9hoc_.arc
o1_mf_1_784_joqw4oq3_.arc o1_mf_1_786_jor0d91w_.arc o1_mf_1_788_jor5681t_.arc o1_mf_1_790_jorbn5gh_.arc o1_mf_1_792_jorhyqhs_.arc

is there a way to only backup (using rman) the archives generated in today's folder

I need this because I will then create a backup script which will take rman backup of

database
archives generated today
control file

then using this backup I will refresh my database on test server

please assist

Thanks,
Abdul Wahid Solanki

Here's the hint from RMAN :-)


RMAN> backup archivelog;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

You can pick and choose whatever archive log range you like
