Re: [Networker] oracle rman backup reports that file changed during back

Mark,

The message you sent out was from the "save" binary, not from nsrnmo -the utility used for RMAN/NMO backups.If you're running the Oracle/RMAN/NMO backup AND the file-system backup(Oracle software etc) from the same group, could I suggest that you putin a directive to skip the directory where your Oracle datafiles arelocated.

e.g.

client = oraserv1save set = /,/var/oracle_software, /oracle_dataDirective = <</oracle_data>> +skip *.*


client=oraserv1
save set = /path_to_scripts/mybackup.rman
Backup command = nsrnmo

I am using Networker Oracle Module to backup a database. The database is therefore put into hot backup mode which i thought meant that there was nothing written to the database while the backup is taking place. Sometimes we receive a warning stating that the file changed during the backup but this file is actually the database. How can this file change during the backup if it is in hot backup mode. Do i need to be concerned with these warnings.
The message is:
Beginning backup of tablespace WRK_DATA...
Backing up datafile /SRVR1_db04/dbf/WRK_DATA_01.dbf...
/SRVR1_db04/dbf/WRK_DATA_01.dbf
save: Warning - `/SRVR1_db04/dbf/WRK_DATA_01.dbf' changed during save
