Try to do incremental backups

[dmarian]

Hi all,
I have this version of Oracle Server:
SQL> SELECT banner from v$version;

BANNER
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle8i Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
CORE Version 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 3.4.0.0.0 - Production

When I try to do a incremental backup,
after being able to do it with level 0,
when I try to do it with level 1 or 2 I get the message error:

RMAN:06180: incermental backups require Oracle8 Entreprise Edition.

My question is : did I miss something, or my software must be a kind of personal server with no capacity to make incremental backups?

thanks,
marian

You need the Enterprise Edition, it will show up in your banner if you're using it.

You might be able to do incremental exports if you wanted to handle it that way, but I can't say for sure as I use the Enterprise Edition.
