A little follow up on this.
I've had several support issues regarding this backup problem, both Oracle
and Veritas.
Before a couple weeks ago I had thought the problems were in Veritas' MML.
After I could duplicate the same issues using the test tape interface
(writes to disk), it became
clear that the issue was not with Veritas, but with Oracle. Still have a
ticket open on this, maybe
they'll find the problem. :)
Automatic channels make it easier to standardize backup scripts, wish they
always worked.
