Also, Oracle9iR2 has a new utility, DBNEWID, that allows you to change the DBID of a copied database safely. With it you can change:
1. The DBID 2. The DBNAME 3. A combination of 1 and 2. This utility is covered in pages 412-413 of my new RMAN book. Prior to 9iR2, you could also use (CAREFULLY) use the procedure sys.dbms_backup_restore.zerodbid. This is documented in page 395 of my RMAN Backup and Recovery book. RF Robert G.

Than it gets new ID -----Original Message----- Sent: maandag 25 november 2002 4:14 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Someone has just told me you can't do an RMAN backup of a clone because it has the same database id as the original. Is this true or not? If so, how to get around it?
