We take the level 0 backup every week and level 1 backup every day. But
sometimes on the 3rd or the 4th day itself we would get following error
message:

Archive failed - The existing level-0 backup for DBspace rootdbs is too old
to allow any incremental backup.

What we need to do to ensure that we can take level 1 backup for an entire
week before taking the level 0 backup ?

Thanks,
Jiten

I think there are a number of adminstrative tasks that means you have
to perform a level 0 archive for example , if you added any dbspaces

probably worth reviewing the info in the backup guide.
