Re: Lengthening backup

the first week when the problem starts i would look at the ora_i process. we had the excact same problem with ora_i being hung and oracle spawing more ora_i processes until the backusp became real slow and used to crawl to a halt. killing the previous ora_i processes immediately solved the issues.

INCREMENTAL_LEVEL

So the incremental level is null.

The only thing I can think of that would cause such behaviour is if for some reason you were actually running a cumulative incremental backup. From the script you've shown, that doesn't appear to be the case, but could you check the incremental_level of the rc_backup_set view in your recovery catalog and verify?

I'm having some issues with a client's RMAN backup. They're on Oracle 8.1.7.4, Solaris 8. It's a weekly full backup, and they're backing up ~1.5TB to disk, and the longer the instance is up, the longer the backup takes.
