RMAN backup problems

[du365]

Hey guys, I need help on this.

I am using Oracle9i on Windows XP

I was using RMAN to backup my database in archive log mode and enter this command:

RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel ch1 type disk;
4> backup database format ‘db_%u_%d_%c_%s’;
5> backup format ‘log_t%t_s%s_p%p’
6> (archivelog all);
7> }

Once I typed this in, I received this error message:

released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ch1
channel ch1: sid=9 devtype=DISK

Starting backup at 28-MAR-04
channel ch1: starting full datafile backupset
channel ch1: specifying datafile (s) in backupset
channel ch1: starting piece 1 at 28-MAR-04

RMAN-00571: ===================================================
RMAN-00569: ========ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS=============
RMAN-00571: ===================================================

Thank you

Hey,
your error messages are quite self-explaining;
look at this one:
O/S-ERROR: (OS 112) There is not enough space on the disk.
This means that RMAN hasn't got enough space to write to.
So you will have to:
either delete some unneeded files
or add more disk space.
