It turns out the problem was due to incorrect permissions on the backup files. Once I corrected them, everything was fine.
I must say, that was not the first thing that came to mind when I saw the error message :-).
creating datafile file number=1 name=+DATA/rac21d/datafile/system. 259.682280555

Thanks to all for your help. Steve On 19/08/2009, at 5:51 AM, Steve Baldwin wrote:
Thanks Robert. The directory doesn't exist. I didn't think it needed to as it would create directories as required.
