Dear Sirs,
I need your help.

Some days ago we decided to use RMAN to backup our database. We have problem now, because of RMAN doesn't want to write to network disk. Here is the log.

Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production

RMAN> connect target sys/...

2> connect catalog rman/...
3> run {
4>  allocate channel c1 type disk;
5>  backup
6>   format 'Z:\cf_%d_%u'
7>   tag backup_cf
8>   current controlfile;
9>  release channel c1;

10> }
11> exit;

A little explanation :
Both PCs have O/S - Windows NT 4 and RDBMS 8.1.7 Disk Z: is sharing network folder on other PC (in future we are going to hold all our backups there). I have Full Control on this folder. Both PCs have the same acounts (name and password). If I use disk D: (local disk) instead of the disk Z: (network disk), everything is OK.

Please, tell what's problem. Received on Fri May 17 2002 - 07:43:16 CDT
