Any ideas please?

At the bottom of your printout:

O/S-Error: (OS 112) There is not enough space on the disk.

[Diggers12]

I see that but on drive c: I have 1.4 gig of free space and on d: I have 3.5 gig.

And what the size of your database?
Try to save your backup on D:\

RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH1 TYPE DISK;
BACKUP
format='D:\temp\%t.%d.%s.%p'
DATABASE;
release channel CH1;
}

Any ideas, thanks

1) mount database;
2) run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
restore database;
recover database;
sql 'ALTER DATABASE OPEN';
release channel ch1;
}
Best wishes!

Hi,

where do I mount the database from RMAN or svrmgr?

thanks

[sambavan]

in the RMAN, issue

startup mount on your target database

i.e

startup mount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/admin/SID/pfile/initSID.ora


Refer the below mentioned link for more details on learning how to do backup and recovery using RMAN.

I have tried to enter the command you gave me but I get the following.

RMAN> startup mount PFILE=c:\oracle\ora817\database\init.PICIS.ora;
