Doug, I think I may have seen a post that answered this question already, but just to be on the safe side:
You cannot backup two databases with the same dbid using the same rman catalog. This always the case with cloned databases unless... 9i - You use the dbid utility to change the dbid of the clone 8i - You use the dbms_backup_restore.zerodbid(0) (MAKE SURE YOU understand this before implementing it) -Ron- -----Original Message----- Gramolini Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 8:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Ditto!

Have you tried that? Lisa Koivu Oracle Database Monkey Fairfield Resorts, Inc. 5259 Coconut Creek Parkway Ft.

Is this true or not? If so, how to get around it?
