Hi,

I am trying to configure veritas netbackup oracle application backup to
backup my oracle database running on my DB server.
With the help of my DBA, i am able to successfully backup the datbase
using RMAN script. My backup policy is based on daily incremental,
weekly full, monthly full and yearly full.

May i know how do create the above retention periods on my schedule
with backup type "application-backup"?

Thanks in advance for your time.

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but here is
what I think to be the case:

There are two possible places where you specify the retention:

1) RMAN catalog (assuming you are using one)
2) Netbackup CLASS/Policy

If you don't do anything about 1), chances are all your backup
information will be stored in the catalog forever, therefore giving you
infinite catalog retention. However, if your netbackup retention is
only two weeks, then having infinite retention for catalog information
is probably no good.

At the Veritas/Netbackup level, you can create one or multiple
policies/classes with different retention specifications. Then in
your RMAN script, you can specify which NB_ORA_CLASS to use for the
backup.
