Hi,

I have been consistently receiving the following error message while doing a
full backup on oracle 8.1.5 database:
        
RMAN-08522: input datafile fno=00023
name=/acme/db/d6/acmeor2/tbs_wat_full_idx_0

Recovery Manager complete.      
             
I searched Oracle Metalink. I found a document mentioning the following:

        After a backup is complete, we query the media management catalog to
confirm its existence. In this 
        case, the backup piece that we just created is being reported as not
found in the Veritas Netbackup 
        catalog.Veritas engineers need to become involved to explain why the
file is being reported as unfound.

        NOTE, You are not first one reporting this problem with Netbackup.
It looks like this may be
         Netbackup bug.

This database backup has been working fine until three days before. From
then onwards, it is consistently giving
the aforementioned error.

Has any one come across this problem?
