-----Original Message----- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 2/26/2003 9:54 AM The connect string looks invalid. Please try: rman target='backup_admin/[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sysdba' nocatalog log="test.log" Have Fun :) Ceri Townsend wrote: Hi All, I am starting to play with rman in a test environment, however I seem to be hitting a really basic problem starting rman.
