@DonAIX, Can you share your RMAN script with us ?

This is the daily archive script.

I am also seeing this in some of my scripts on this server..

backup incremental level 0 tag 'LVL0-${TODAY}' database filesperset 1 format 'FULL_%d_%t.%s.%p.${TODAY}.bk';

Is the filesperset my issue?

@DonAIX, the fileperset is set to 1 for full backup for a better restore performance. Can you check if you have this parameter - MAXSETSIZE set in RMAN outside this script ?
