# Configuring a User Directory for RMAN Log Files

You can configure an additional setting to specify that you want to copy Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) log files into a directory that you name. When this additional setting is configured, RMAN log files are copied from the default job results directory to the directory named in the additional setting.

This additional setting lets you keep your copies of RMAN log files for a longer time, since the system usually prunes the default RMAN logs directory every 7 days. Note that you are responsible for deleting old log files from the newly created RMAN log files directory, since the system will not prune log files in this directory.

## Before You Begin

Create the directory where you want to keep your copies of the RMAN log files.

## Procedure

- To the client computer, add the additional setting as shown in the following table.

  For instructions about adding an additional setting, see Adding a CommCell Setting.
