Hello Ashish,

First of all BR0292I is not an error it is just an information message. BR tool error codes will finish with E. I denotesinformation. As suchyou can ignore this informationmessage. However just check if you find any error logs related to it. If so then you need to take care.

Hi Ashish

You can use for your system copy either one valid online backup + redo logs, either one offline backup.

Since you get the return code 3 it could mean that you did not set proper permissions to /oracle/<SID>/saparch .
