Excerpt from the 9i RMAN Guide :

"If you specify DEVICE TYPE DISK, then you must back up to random access disks. You can make a backup on any device that can store an Oracle datafile: in other words, if the statement CREATE TABLESPACE tablespace_name DATAFILE 'filename' works, then 'filename' is also a valid backup path name."

LOL. What if someone were to take this literally? What would happen if you specified a datafile as the RMAN backup destination? Would your datafile get overwritten, and subsequently, your backup fail coz it cannot read from the datafile? :-)))))
