learning RMAN

there is your problem.

it is a common misconception that your backups will be written to the
machine you are running rman from. This is incorrect.

Backups can only be written to disks on the HOST server.
In your case: sys/vms700@test <-- that server

It's a pain in the ass that I wish Oracle would fix somehow, but
if you consider Network bandwidth I guess it could be a problem.

GEEZZZ,

for all of the trouble you have to go through trying to help me out so that is the problem. Let me try on that machine.

thanks

COOKIES,

2. what's the differences between 'CONFIGURE CONTROL AUTOBACKUP FORMAT' and 'CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE'

thanks

Any advises on this questions????

thanks all

configure snapshot controlfile name to
New syntax to replace 'set snapshot controlfile to ...'

allocating more channels, use that to backed up your database parallely, more backupsets in each time, so it may be faster, of course it depends on backup media type, when you backed up to a tape with sequentional access, there is no reason to allocate more than 1 channel. When you start backup, rman create enough backupset to use all allocated channels.
