Re: RMAN archivelog backup fails

I'll give that a try but I'm not sure whether it will be much different. Currently duplicates of the online redo logs and control files, database backups and database exports exist on the same physical drive with no apparant problems ie. the backups validate successfully, the export can be successfully imported to another database and there is no indication of problems with the online redo logs or control files. The drive is relitively new and scans return with no errors. I'm thinking its more a problem specific to the archivelogs.

Thanks for your reply and suggestion, any more ideas you may have on the matter would be appreciated.
