Hi!

I'm working on one automation backup using RMAN and Oracle 8.05 on a NT platform.
I'm trying to do 4 kind of backups: yearly (incremental backup level=0), monthly (incremental cumulative backup level=1), weekly (incremental backup level=2) and diary (incremental cumulative backup level=3).
After create the database I've put in ARCHIVE LOG ON mode, create the repository (RMAN), registred the target database in the repository, done the first full backup (level 0) and then when I tried to do a backup of a higher level (1, 2 or 3) I've got the following error: "RMAN-06180: incremental backups require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition".

These are the steps I do to do a incremental backup level=0 followed by one incremental backup level=1:

Incremental Backup level=0

These are the scripts I use:

'Backup Anual' Script

{
allocate channel c1 type disk
format "c:\orant\database\archive\BK_anual_%d_%t.%s"; backup incremental level=0
database;
release channel c1;
}

'Backup Mensal' Script

{
allocate channel c1 type disk
format "c:\orant\database\archive\BK_mensal_%d_%t.%s"; backup incremental level=1
database;
release channel c1;
}

And here is the description of the error:

Error description

RMAN-06180 incremental backups require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Cause: A BACKUP command with INCREMENTAL LEVEL > 0 was specified. Action: Use FULL or INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0.

Question: How can it give me this error when I did an incremental backup level=0 just some minutes before I did the incremental backup level=1? Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance,
