Your database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and you're trying to perform an inconsistent backup. This is not possible. You should read the Oracle documentation about backup and recovery for an explanation; the error you're encountering is not a TSM error. It's important that you understand the basics of Oracle backups, otherwise you might be unpleasantly surprised when you need to restore something. -- Jurjen Oskam "I often reflect that if "privileges" had been called "responsibilities" or "duties", I would have saved thousands of hours explaining to people why they were only gonna get them over my dead body." - Lee K.
