Re: RMAN Duplicate issue

Hello Godwin

As was already pointed until means "up to and not including" file 1455. Since file 1455 probably contain changes from a time before your second backup, RMAN needs to go back to the previous one.

BTW, I do not see (maybe you left this out) that you do: sql 'alter system archive log current'; and backup of archive logs after this. That is needed so you will be able to restore to the time the backup ended.
