597764Apr 29 2008 — edited Apr 29 2008
Hi All,

We have database Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production running on RedHat edition 4.
I have done incomplete recovery of database to previous incarnation using autobackup controlfile with RMAN, opened database with resetlogs everything went fine. database is up and running. Now when i tried to take backup of the database i have received following error

Starting backup at 29-APR-08
