Hi Prem,

It looks for the default autobackup location ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs for 9i/Unix for backups to disks). Otherwise you have to specify the location that was used when overriding this default location. That's why it's not a very good idea to not keep the default location in the persistant configuration (unless you're not comfortable with having backups under ./dbs)
