Re: RMAN datafile allocation to channels

My condolences on 8.0.5, you should patch to 8.0.5.1 for better a much better rman.

I think that every channel is used for each datafile. When one datafile has been completely backed up the channels are used for the next. This is empiracal thought, what I have observed. I have 2 channels going to one disk.
