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
HiI am doing RMAN incremental level 0 backup
.The database size is about 150GB out of which used would be about 100GB.I don't
have a single volume with 100GB of space.So I need to distribute the backup
across several disks.
Also I need to limit the backup size in each of the
volumes

I have taken hot backup using RMAN. The total Size of the Database is
5200MB(By Sum(byes) in Dba_data_files). Where us the backup file size put
together is 4600MB.
Where am I missing the remaining 600MB?
Thanks

Rman backs up only used blocks, so the size difference

Hi,
It's all O.K., blocks that never been used aren't backuped by rman.

I believe that RMAN only backs up blocks that have been allocated to an oracle object
- index, segment, table, etc. If the block is in a datafile but not in use by an
oracle object (that is, the block is free), then RMAN doesn't backup those blocks.
