RMAN default location on NT?

[acur8dba]

Hi,

I am getting familiar with RMAN, 8.1.7 and executed a backup from NT to NT pc. The backup went to a default location on the target database drive. However, the target database c drive had very little free space and filled.

How do I determine what the default RMAN location is for disk backups? How do I change that location to the pc the RMAN database is located on?

Vanilla script is below:
1 {
2 allocate channel ch1 type disk;
3 allocate channel ch2 type disk;
4 backup database;
5 sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL';
6 backup archivelog all;}

Hi,
There is no default RMAN location for disk backups.You can give the entire pathname of the location of the backups on the same database in the format :

e.g
Vanilla script is below:
{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
allocate channel ch2 type disk;
filesperset=10 format 'c:\data\backup\backup%d%s'
backup database;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL';
}
