The Oracle edition and version is always useful information in Oracle newsgroup posts. Since this is basically a duplicate question to your other post and that thread has been answered I will not add any additional advice other than to recommend that you schedule a full backup every N days or replace the incrementals will full backups to begin with. If the database is small I would rather just perform the full backup than incrementals.
