Earlier this week or last someone asked how to set the limit of an rman backupset. I said it could be done when you create a channel, but in researching this further I found a better way. Instead of limiting the filesperset or setting the size for the channel you can simply put a setsize=2000 in your backup command. E.g.:

backup
incremental level 1
# skip offline
# skip readonly

skip inaccessible
tag backup_dbname_level_1
# filesperset 4

    setsize=2000
    format '/dbback/l1_%sdbname_%p'
    (database);

This will give backupsets of 2 gig each.

You learn something everyday!
