Yesterday, I was trying to get a BMR image of one of our Linux Oracle
servers.  Currently, we are doing nightly database backups to disk via
RMAN, and then NBU backs up the system, including the db backup.  All
backups are done while the databases are live, so I have to exclude
several directories.  Here is the contents of the exclude_list on that
server:

/u02/oradata/BANTEST
/u02/oradata/bnrbuild
/u02/oradata/bnrcnvt1
/u02/oradata/jwetmpdb
/u02/oradata/lumtest
/u02/oradata/PPRD
/u02/oradata/SEED
/u02/oradata/TRNG
/u01/oradata/*
/u03/oradata

On the backup, I received the following errors:

6/1/2006 4:33:27 PM - begin writing
6/1/2006 4:36:06 PM - Error bpbrm(pid=13760) from client server1: ERR -
Modification time has changed while backing up
/u02/oradata/bnrbuild/undotbs_bnrbuild_01.dbf.
6/1/2006 4:51:15 PM - begin writing
6/1/2006 5:06:39 PM - begin writing
6/1/2006 5:09:17 PM - Error bpbrm(pid=13760) from client server1: ERR -
Modification time has changed while backing up
/u03/oradata/bnrbuild/ctrl_bnrbuild_03.ctl.
6/1/2006 5:18:31 PM - end writing; write time: 00:11:52
the requested operation was partially successful(1)

I would think both of these would be covered under the
/u02/oradata/bnrbuild exclude list item.  Am I wrong?  Suggestions?



Thanks,
Jason
