  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.
