    I don't know how to sort out this problem.
    The best way to use tape for keeping backup.
    Other way you may copy your backup file using O/S command to another host. But don't forget that RMAN saves the ways to backup file in the Rec.Cat. and it will not be able to find them automaticaly. You have to catalog them.
    Best wishes!

    Here is the Answer KGB

    WRITING FILES TO A MAPPED DRIVE WITH RMAN
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The problem of backing up to a mapped network drive using the SYSTEM
    account
    is a security issue. By default, Oracle requires the SYSTEM user to
    have
    privileges to write to the drives. Microsoft considers granting SYSTEM
    owned
    service access to a shared drive a security issue.


    However, there is a workaround that allows Oracle to access a shared
    drive.
    The Oracle services are originally configured to log on using the SYSTEM
    account. The SYSTEM account should not be granted access to the shared
    drive,
    therefore the Oracle services for the TARGET DB need to be reconfigured
    to
    logon using an Administrator account (preferably a Domain
    Administrator).


    THE STEPS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. On the machine where you wish to write the files to, create a shared
    drive
    granting the user 'Administrator' FULL Control.
    Note: For reference below, this Administrator will use the password
    'test',
    this will be referred to as the "Destination" machine.

    2. On the machine with the TARGET DB, verify the Administrator user has
    the
    same password of the user that shared the drive on the destination
    machine.
    In the example here, the password would be 'test'.

    3. Map a network drive on the TARGET machine to the shared drive on the
    destination machine. When mapping this drive, use the Administrator
    user with the password 'test'.

    4. On the TARGET machine, BOTH the OracleTNSListener Service and the
    OracleService services must be configured to start using the
    Administrator/test account.
    (As discussed above, Oracle uses the Local System account by
    default.)
    a. Go to the Control Panel and then open up the Services panel.
    b. Double click on the appropriate service
    (TNSListener or OracleService).
    c. Change the "Log on as" user from the "Local System Account" to
    "This Account".
    d. Specify the service to log on as the Administrator user.
    c. Click on "OK".

    5. Shutdown the TARGET database and stop and start the services on the
    Target
    machine. Restart the TARGET database.

    6. You should now be able to use RMAN from the Catalog machine to copy
    the
    datafiles. In the RMAN script, specify the drive letter that you
    mapped
    in step 3.


    FINAL NOTES
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    It is recommended to use the Domain Administrator account to ensure that
    passwords are the same across the various machines. If there is no
    domain,
    use the local Administrator account and ensure that the passwords are
    the same
    for this account across all of the machines.

    If your backups are to be automated using the AT command, it is best to
    start
    up the SCHEDULE service under the same Administrator account that the
    OracleService and the OracleTNSListener services use.


    COMMON MISTAKES
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If the OracleService and OracleTNSListener services are not
    configured
    to use the same account as the shared drive, you can expect the
    following
    errors:

    RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19504: failed to create
    file
    ""
    ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
    OSD-04002: unable to open file
    O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.
    ORA-19600: input file is datafile 1( 1>)
    ORA-19601: output file is datafile-copy 0( file
    to be created>)
    RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to
    DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.COPYDATAFILE

    If the mapped drive is created on the CATALOG machine and NOT on the
    TARGET
    machine, you can expect the following errors.

    RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19504: failed to create
    file
    ""
    ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
    OSD-04002: unable to open file
    O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.
    ORA-19600: input file is datafile 1 ( 1>)
    ORA-19601: output file is datafile-copy 0 ( file to
    be created>)
    RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to
    DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.COPYDATAFILE
