I found notes on the Oracle Support Site to the following: I have set the default channel size to 2G. I have set the maxpiecesize to 2G. I have tried recreating the spfile. I am not running out of disk space. I verified that there are no files in need of recovery.

I restored a database to a new server using an RMAN level0 backup. I then renamed the database and all the files to the new instance name. I am not using an RMAN catalog. When I try and backup the database doing a level0 RMAN backup I get this error: channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 31 at 12-02-2005 20:34:36 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 12/02/2005 20:35:42 ORA-19502: write error on file "/oracle/oradata/VLTEST1/backup/VLTEST1_L0_20051202_S8_P31_C1_08h5afdv.RMAN", blockno 133377 (blocksize=8192) ORA-27063: skgfospo: number of bytes read/written is incorrect Additional information: 8192 Additional information: 1048576 I found notes on the Oracle Support Site to the following: I have set the default channel size to 2G.
