Database Error Messages

ORA-45160

Incremental forever strategy is lost for database string.

Cause

A low space condition has forced the deletion of backup data needed to generate the last remaining virtual LEVEL 0 of one or more data files. The next client backup will be a full LEVEL 0 backup, even if LEVEL 1 was specified.


Action

This is a warning and no action is needed. However, you may use DBMS_RA.UPDATE_DB to increase the RESERVED_SPACE value of the database to ensure additional backups are saved. Select SPACE_USAGE from RA_DATABASE to see how much space is currently in use. You should also check for KEEP backups consuming space on disk and decide if they should be moved to tape or other disk storage. See DBMS_RA.MOVE_BACKUP_PIECE for more details.
