automatic backup problem

[navaneethdba]

hi guys,

oracle version 10.2.0
windowsNT

I am taking RMAN backups automaticaly using os scheduler.

Am using batch file to connect RMAN and call X.rcv file to run the script.Now my problem is, i need to create a folder in the current date and make daily incremental backups in that particular folder.......

i created the folder namin current date in batch file but i dont know how to pass it to the .rcv file...

.rcv file content is

run
{
allocate channel c1 device type disk format='C:/backup/....currentdate foldername........../db_%U'
.
.
.
}
exit;


Any guidance plz.....

TIA,

What format are you using for "current date"?

RMAN allows %D (day DD) %M (month MM) %Y (year YYYY) to specify a format.
