10g Backup With RMAN

[bonny]

I am using the following Script for backup on 10g database on Command line-

RMAN TARGET SYSTEM/UCCNETDEVA@DEVA NOCATALOG
configure controlfile autobackup on;

run {allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup
incremental level = 0
database format "/raid4/oracle/10g/product/dbs/img_cpy_upd.bak";
backup archivelog all delete input format "/raid4/oracle/10g/product/dbs/img_cpy_upd.bak";}

Error Message-

channel d1: starting piece 1 at 12-AUG-05
released channel: d1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on d1 channel at 08/12/2005 16:06:31
ORA-19504: failed to create file "/raid4/oracle/10g/product/dbs/img_cpy_upd.bak"

ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory

How to resolve this problem???

Secondly we have both Sun Solaris(Unix) & Window Env. On windows when I say c:> Rman....it shows me that rman is available.

But on Unix box Rman is not recognised.???
Can someone tell me why??

I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks

1. common sense
2. do you know what are environment variables in any operating system?

hi,

Unix is case sensitive...u sould type "rman" and not Rman.
The rman executable must be in the $PATH env variable.
Your error seems relate to file permission error or maybe the
directory is not yet created. Go to that dir and create a test file
to check if it is writable.
