QUESTION POSED ON: 09 April 2008
I want to backup an Oracle 9.2 database to a remote network drive using RMAN (with recovery catalog). To do so I mapped a network drive on the database server (which is now drive F:). To check the write permissions I copied some files to F: using the RMAN host command without any errors. Then I tried to do a full backup using the following commands:
run {
    allocate channel disk1 type disk;
    backup full filesperset=100
        (database format 'F:%d_%s.bak' include current controlfile) 
        plus archivelog format 'F:%d_%s.bak' delete all input;
    release channel disk1;
}
and the following error occured:

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 03/06/2008 11:06:33
ORA-19504: Datei "F:20080306_RMAN_12.bak" kann nicht erzeugt werden
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: Erstellungsfehler. Datei kann nicht erstellt werden
OSD-04002: Datei kann nicht geöffnet werden
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Zugriff verweigert

Do you have any idea what is wrong or missing?

EXPERT RESPONSE
When you run RMAN in this manner, the user who then needs to write permissions to the F: drive is the user that starts the Oracle Service for that SID. This may be a different user that you used to sign on to the server to test with. So make sure the service account has write permissions to this file share.
