Well, the simple method is to combine all the inits into one file. There
is no real need to have multiple inits for one SID.

Mike,

Did you register the init files with the database?
When you register it (or re-register it) have your register
script/file look like this:

register
db_name = "CORPWEB1"
pfile = "?/dbs/init@.ora","?/dbs/init@_com.ora","?/dbs/init@1.ora"
log = "/u05/oracle/admin/corpweb/ebackups/log/corpweb1.log"

That is what I had to do. I am just getting into using EBU since
we are evaluating Veritas now but that is one of the things I was
worried about also since, as you can see, we have 3 init files.
We could definitely include 2 into one file but we need the third
init file to remotely shutdown the remote instance of and OPS
system. Anyway, I hope this helps. TO tell you the truth, I
still haven't tried a backup of this particular database yet but
will either today or Monday. Hope it works!

FYI, I just did the backup this way and it works. All 3 init files
were backed up.
