True.. But I've been running on this config for over 2 years with no problems. I have done hundreds of clones with RMAN duplicate commands and the backups have proved to be OK. I think the network failure is due to the increase in the size of our database.

I have tried the DISABLE_OOB parameter (it is a client side setting) and I haven't had a failure since.

I can understand Metalink being vague about RMAN remote backups but I expected to see some info on DISABLE_OOB (but there is very littel anywhere).

Thanks for the feedback.
