I am reviewing my backup strategy and i came across errors in our backups. Here is the backup script we run daily.

$rman_script="backup incremental level 1 cumulative device type disk tag '%TAG' database;
recover copy of database;
backup device type disk tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
allocate channel for maintenance type 'SBT_TAPE'; delete noprompt obsolete device type disk; release channel;
";
&br_save_agent_env();
&br_prebackup($l_db_connect_string, $l_is_cold_backup, $l_use_rcvcat, $l_db_10_or_higher, $l_backup_strategy, "TRUE"); my $result = &br_backup();
exit($result);

Here is the log from the backup script. It looks like it is performing the backup fine but has seems to be having a problem with parallelism being set and it seems to have a problem with trying to backup to a tape which we actually backup to a drive nto a tape. I also don't understadn no data file to recover. What should i do to work out these problems? Thnaks for your help. Oh and yes i am reading the backup and recovery guides as we speak I woud just liek some help from the experts. Thanks for the help in advance.
