I am running Oracle 8.1.7 on Win2000.
I would like to do backup of closed database.
So,I created directory F:\BACKUP.
I want that directory containing backup of my db.

Through RMAN,i entered command
run
{ allocate channel ch1 type 'F:\BACKUP';
BACKUP DATABASE;
}
and of course,it don't works 'cause wrong type for channel.
I realized type have to be disk,but how can
i specify "F:\BACKUP",and how that command must be entered?

Thanks,Zvonimir
