Backing Up Oracle - Computing at Cornell

We did a couple of backups using that tag; now we can list backups using
that tag qualifier:
RMAN> list backup tag = 'Beach Daily';
RMAN-03022: compiling command: list

Now we can use the tag qualifier to delete all backup pieces with that tag.
We created a text file called delete_tag.rman that contained these entries.
allocate channel for delete type 'sbt_tape';
change backuppiece tag = 'Beach Daily' delete;
release channel;
Then we can call this RMAN script using a Windows command file that we
created, delete_tag.cmd, which sets the ORACLE_SID and then executes the
RMAN command. That way, you can schedule the delete_tag.cmd using
Windows or TSM scheduling.
set ORACLE_SID=BEACH
rman target internal/manager@beach rcvcat rman/rman@rio
cmdfile=c:\oracle\admin\scripts\delete_tag.rman
