Dear Friends

I'm using rman for my production db backup. i have set following parameter and script for my full database backup. i have configure the maxpiecesize = 2g,but still in some cases files goes over 2g.Below is my scripts for rman and output from OS files.
RMAN > #Allocation all channel
replace script allocate_channel {
allocate channel d11 type disk;
allocate channel d12 type disk;
allocate channel d13 type disk;
} 

replaced script allocate_channel

RMAN > # Releases all channels
replace script release_channel {
release channel d11;
release channel d12;
release channel d13;
}

replaced script release_channel

RMAN > # Backs up the control file
replace script backup_controlfile {
execute script allocate_channel;
backup
format '/home/wbrman/backup/rman_CTL__%d.%U.bak'
(current controlfile);
execute script release_channel;
}

replaced script backup_controlfile

RMAN > # Back up the archived log files, and deletes them once the backup has successfully completed.
replace script backup_archivelog {
sql 'alter system archive log current';
execute script allocate_channel;
backup
filesperset 10
format '/home/wbrman/backup/rman_ARC__%d.%U.bak'
(archivelog all delete input);
execute script release_channel;
}

replaced script backup_archivelog

RMAN> # Backs up the whole database. The database must be mounted and opened.
replace script backup_datafile {
execute script allocate_channel;
backup full tag backup_db filesperset 4
format '/home/wbrman/backup/rman_DF_%d.%U.bak'
(database);
execute script release_channel;
}

replaced script backup_datafile

RMAN> #Full Backup
replace script backup_fulldb {
execute script backup_controlfile;
execute script backup_datafile;
execute script backup_archivelog;
}

replaced script backup_fulldb

Please clear my dought why it is creating files more than 2g,although i have configure maxpiecesize to 2 g;

You have overlapping allocation channels (one in configuration that you set to 2G and other that overwrites in your script).

Dear Mahesh

should i need to alter my allocation channel script like this below. please reply,i'm right or wrong and also suggest me that,Is above script is proper for full database backup, or suggest me some RMAN scripts collection website (i've created above through the help of oracle documentation and one of the site) from which i can develop my own.

RMAN> replace script allocate_channel {
allocate channel d11 type disk maxpiecesize 2g;
allocate channel d12 type disk maxpiecesize 2g;
allocate channel d13 type disk maxpiecesize 2g;
} 
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete
replaced script allocate_channel

Dear Mahesh

I've tried your suggestion and it is working fine, it was my conceptual mistake. Thanks for help. Please provide some help on incremental rman backup scripts.

>>Is above script is proper for full database backup
May be. May not be. Backups are never an issue.
Recovery will most probably be (always assume that there will be a problem).
Only way to certify your backup policy is to test it by
restoring/recovering from backupsets, with different scenarios or atleast whatever your SLAs claim.
Test it, document it and do it in a regular but random interval/scenario.
And Oracle documntation/Metalink is the best place to learn.

First try. See if the suggestion works. Who knows? Smile
First try to get rid of manual allocation and see if it works.

Dear Mahesh,

One more thing i need to clearify myself why there is a difference in backup files size and actual files size. Here listed below both the output from os.(I considered the that tempfiles and archived log files size) and I did not use any compression parameter explicitly.

Output of full database backup taken from RMAN

In my case actual size almost 2.6g more than backup from rman. please clearify my dought.
