Sorry about that, here are the versions: - target database: 11.1.0.7.0 - catalog database: 11.1.0.7.0 - RMAN executable : 11.1.0.7.0 - catalog schema : rman_11g Here is the scenario: server A --> shadow copied and mounted to server B ---> tape First, second and subsequent backups *always* works from server A to tape. But they work only at times from server B to tape. We are in the process of resyncing and de-registering and registering the databases in RMAN; will let you know if it works consistently after doing this. Would love to hear other suggestions. Thanks a lot, -Suresh On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 12:17 PM, Jared Still <jkstill@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Suresh P <suresh.gm@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi team, >> >> We are getting RMAN errors on Day 2 while backing up DB to tape( for >> both L0 or L1).
