Server: Windows 2000 service pack 4
Oracle database version: 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition RMAN version: 10.2.0.3.0
Database type: development
When I bounce the database this issue is resolved. But this issue continues to come back up after a day or two.

I would initially think this is due to a virus scanner or some other software like that running at the same scheduled time but the issue occurs when I run the backup manually as well.

A Process Explorer search (during and after an attempted backup or backup verify) for the data file shows 14 handles on the file, all the same oracle.exe PID. Interestingly there is no actual data from any particular schema in that data file.

I'm not seeing any other errors anywhere else that I can think of.
