RMAN Backup over the network Options

[Vijayaraghavan K...]

Hi to all,

I am trying to take Oracle Backup using RMAN.

My DB Version : 10.2
OS: Windows 2003 Server

Oracle Listener and Database Service is configured to start as Domain Administrator

Scenario 1:

1) I tried to take backup one copy on local machine (DB Server) and another copy on another windows XP PC.

2) Backup gets succeeded when i gave the unc for the remote pc.


Scenario 2:

1) I tried to take backup one copy on local machine (DB Server) and another copy on Linux PC where RHEL 5 is installed.

2) When i tried to backup up it throws error as

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 07/07/2009 10:33:55
ORA-19504: failed to create file "\\192.168.1.99\NAS\BACKUP_CONTROLFILE_119.BKP"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 1326) Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

I tried by creating the same username as in windows with same password and added that user in samba users and gave 777 permission to the shared folder, still I'm not able to succeed.

Please help me in this...

Thanks and Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

a very quick google search would have found your answer, this is one of the most common problems have

This is a security issue. Service OracleService<SID> runs by default under the internal account LocalSystem,which is not allowed to write to shared drives. You have to change OracleService<SID> to logon explicitly as a user with admin privileges.
In ControlPanel services:
=> right click on service => select properties => select logon => change user information to an ID with administrator privilege

dont be so lazy next time
