Bash Script to Upload RMAN Backups via FTP
Our customer asked if they can automatically upload latest RMAN backups via FTP to another server. Because they keep latest 3 backups in same directory, I wrote a small bash script which calls an SQL script to queries RMAN backups and then uploads only the backup pieces belong to the latest backup job. I wanted to share this script because it demonstrates some interesting methods such as handling arrays returned from SQLPLus.
Here’s the SQL script (rmanfind.sql) to query RMAN backups. Our customer takes archive log backups during the day, so I needed to state full backup jobs while querying.
