The RMSql policy command sets the Recovery Manager policy at the instance and database level.

PARAMETERS

The following options are supported:

 

-s <SQL server>

-r

Optional. Retain the oldest virtual copy even

-in <instance virtual copy limit>

Optional. The maximum number of

 

instance-level virtual copies to retain. If not

 

specified, a maximum of 10 is used as the

 

default.

 

NOTE: The sum of the values used for the

 

-nand -inoptions cannot exceed 500.

-exp <time>{hHdD}

Optional. If the policy is expiration-based, set

 

the expiration time to the specified time and

 

time unit. Valid values are:
