Hi

Well rman says that your backups have expired based on the contents of the catalog.

I would suggest you do a clean test just to discount something funny from this whole exercise

First delete the expired

1)delete expired backup
2)backup database plus archivelog
3)Backup the files to some other location or tape
3)remove the files using host command using rm
4)run crosscheck command rman should report the backup as expired
5)restore the files to the same location
6)run crosscheck command rman should mark the backups as available

Let me know if you are able to reproduce whatever happened till now

regards
Hrishy


I hope the permissions on these files /makkdb1-bk/rman/4fiq9uj1_1_1 are 666
so rman can read them ?
