Hi All,

I want to schedule incremental level backup for my company's databases but implementing it I want to test on my local server.

I first run the job mode command for 0 level backup:

RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 device type disk;
4> backup incremental level 0 database plus archivelog;
5> }

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: c1
channel c1: sid=151 devtype=DISK


Starting backup at 18-JAN-11

Quote:
plus archive log


by this you are instructing to backup the archivelogs ,,

complete/incremental,,,,to recover from database backup to point in time,you will require archive log backups.

Hey Thanks for the reply knight

You are right that for point in time recovery bakcup of the archive logs is essential, but if we check the logs carefully, we will find that that everytime the archivelog that are being backed up include the previous archivelogs as well.

I want that only the new archive should be included not the old ones. What to do for that?

Thanks
Deepak

There are many techniques to achieve this. How about removing the "plus archivelog" clause, and instead use a separate job such as:

backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times;

Thanks everyone for your efforts, now I have use 
run
{
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
backup incremental level 1 database database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
}
and my problem is solved not it is not taking the backup of all archives again and again.

but I am just wondering, what the result is gonna be If I use the below mentioned command;

run
{
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
backup incremental level 2 database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
}


I am just confuse that what the difference it makes using different values for keyword "level" and values "1,2,3,4".

Please help me to understand this.

Regards
Deepak

You cannot use 2, 3, 4 only 0 or 1.
