All rights reserved. connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1036216947) RMAN> The various userful RMAN configuration parameters are: CONFIGURE CONFIGURE CONFIGURE CONFIGURE CONFIGURE CONFIGURE CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2; DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'DESTINATION_%F'; DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'DESTINATION\%U.bak' MAXPIECESIZE 4G;
