Hi all,

I'm trying to test the backup ability of RMAN. Here is my RMAN session on 8i/EE/NT, tons of memory. My target database is up and open, archivelog mode, on a primary machine. My catalog is on backup machine, same machine/Oracle/Instance configuration. I created the RCVCAT on the backup machine. I am able to connect to both the target and the catalog as seen below. It looks like the problem is it cannot allocate the I/O device between the catalog database and the target database to do the backup.

God status would be achieved in my eyes should anyone with some experience help me through this mess.
