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.

TIA,   I suggest reading the section of the manual on Back Sets. I've included the link below for you.

Hi
I 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 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?  

TIA
