OP noted oracle 8i ...
RMAN was not exactly very stable or even useable back in the 8 and 8.x days ... especially on unpatched systems ... but even with patching ... not reliable.
Anyone still running stuff that old best stay away from RMAN ... and consider upgrades. Received on Thu Jul 09 2009 - 19:24:03 CDT
