Sorry, I can't answer your question, but I am considering implementing
monthly backupsets for one customer that is requesting their backups be
kept indefinitely. Is this what you are using backupsets for, or is anyone
else doing this.  Hopefully someone else will respond since I am also
extremely  interested in seeing if any one else is experiencing your
problem.

Subject:  backupsets and preemption



We are experiencing a peculiar problem while running our GENERATE
BACKUPSETS
scripts.
During its execution, all administrative scheduled scripts, such as
daily_disk_pool_copy fails to run,
and the duration period expires. We do not specify NOPREEMPT in our server
options file.
Anyone experience similar grief?  Anyone know where generate backupsets
falls in the order of priority?
Thanks.
