RMAN备份分为全备和增量备份两部分
增量备份:分为0 1 2级
ORACLE官方解释:
A level 1 incremental backup can be either of the following types:
Adifferential backup, which backs up all blocks changed after the most recentincremental backup at level 1 or 0
A cumulative backup, which backs up all blocks changed after the most recentincremental backup at level 0
Incrementalbackups are differential by default. 默认是差异备份
在differential(差异)模式下(缺省)
0=全备
1=差异增量 上次全备或LV1至今的增量(无论是否有,有N次LV2的备份,一律从上次lv1或0至今的变化)0/1 ~ NOW
2=累积增量 上次任意级别备份至今的增量(任意一次备份至今)0/1/2 ~ NOW
在cumulative(累积的)模式下,
0=全备
1=上次全备至今的增量(无论是否有,有N次LV1的备份,一律从全备至今的变化)0 ~ NOW
2=上次0或1级别备份至今的增量(2次LV2间的累积,也汇总备份至今)0/1~ NOW (differential下的LV1)
