Re: Backups failing

Oliver, John's note is for Grid Control and not for Database Control, that doesn't mean it won't work - but it may not do so. If the problem you are trying to address is RMAN backups failing then using the rman command line directly maybe of more immediate use. At the very least I would do the following in a terminal/command window on the server ( & having set the oracle environment correctly for your database. )

rman target /
list backup of database;
