Good point Tom.... RF
-----Original Message----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 8/7/2003 1:29 PM Ronald, It looks like just the archivelog was not going into the correct directory, right? But then you did *not* include a format clause for the archivelog. Looking at the docs, it looks like you should change the following: backup database format 'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\rman_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak' plus archivelog; to backup database format 'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\rman_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak' plus archivelog format 'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\arcs_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak' Good Luck!
