Does it make any sense to run 4 processes for a rman full database backup when 
you have configured only 1 default channel?
 
The channel is a disk and the backup files are all going to that same disk.
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 4; # default
 
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   
'/u01/backup/oracle_sid/bu.d%d.t%t.s%s.p%p' MAXPIECESIZE 1 G;
 
 
Is this going to run faster or the fact of a single disk will slow it down?
 
thanks.
