I don't think so.  We use the Informix agent and each dbspace
is a seperate job.  If any dbspace receives a media error it
starts over at the beginning of the database no matter what
the retries are.

If you find a solution please post as I maybe able to use
it for Informix and we will be implementing RMAN for Oracle
before the end of the year.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Number of retry attempts for user backup !


Hi Folks !
My DBA uses RMAN to backup Oracle. The problem is, if there is a media write

error on any one of the data files, the whole database backup failes. Is 
there any way to set a number of retry attempts for rman backups?. I know 
for scheduled backups it is possible to set the number of retry attempts.

And is there a setting to wait for certain number of media errors before 
Netbackup freezes the media??
        
Thanks,
- Karun
