I have used SET LIMIT CHANNEL to limit the size of the backup pieces. I haven't used SETSIZE, which limits "the total byte size of a backup set". However, I don't see how this will help, since a backup command can create many backup sets.
I face the same dilema. It looks like another example of Oracle giving you very a fine-grained level of control over everything except that which you want to control. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/06/02 09:08PM >>> TIA, I suggest reading the section of the manual on Back Sets.

Also I need to limit the backup size in each of the volumes depending on how much space is available in those volumes. For e.g if i want to limit /disk1 to 40GB /disk2 to 10GB /disk3 to 10GB /disk4 to 10Gb How would i do this in RMAN?
