2. On the RMAN command line, create and then run the following RMAN sample script.

   Do not use the forward slash (/) at the end of the folder name.

    
   configure channel device type 'sbt_tape'
   PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=<software_installation_path>/Base/libobk.so,ENV=(BACKUP_DIR=disk_location,CV_media=FILE)";

   Windows Example

   configure channel device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS = "ENV=(BACKUP_DIR=D:\RestoretoDisk\32092,CV_media=FILE)";

3. Verify the configuration. On the RMAN command line, type the following command to verify the configuration.

   RMAN>show all;

4. Catalog the backup pieces. On the RMAN command line, type the following command to catalog the backup pieces.
