RE: RMAN backup to disk in multiple files

 

  

You should be able use RMAN to create a backup set that is in multiple
files. That is what we do where I work. Here is a sample piece of code
that we run on a daily basis:

backup full as compressed backupset
format '${target_dir_tmp}/${host}.database.${date_simple}.set%s.piece%p'
(database);

I hope this helps.

Can I use RMAN to create a backup of a database to disk in multiple
files and control the size of the file(s) similar to datapump? Or do
RMAN backups to disk go to one file? Database is 20TB and we are
currently doing cold backups to tape via Backup Express.
