i, we run RMAN backup through HP Data Protector on 11gR1 and 11gR2 database servers. Script used in backup is generated by Data Protector, and looks like following. Backup level is set to 1 for incremental backup: ------ cut here ----- run { allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=CSPRD,OB2BARLIST=PRD-DB)'; allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=CSPRD,OB2BARLIST=PRD-DB)'; allocate channel 'dev_2' type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=CSPRD,OB2BARLIST=PRD-DB)'; allocate channel 'dev_3' type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=CSPRD,OB2BARLIST=PRD-DB)'; backup incremental level format 'PRD-DB<PRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf' database; sql 'alter system archive log current'; backup format 'PRD-DB<PRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf' archivelog all; backup format 'PRD-DB<PRD_%s:%t:%p>.dbf' current controlfile; } ------ cut here ----- However, the backup type of most of the dbf shows "full backup", and following RMAN-08008 message is displayed in backup job log: RMAN-03090: Starting backup at 29-AUG-14 RMAN-08008: channel dev_0: starting full datafile backup set RMAN-08010: channel dev_0: specifying datafile(s) in backup set RMAN-08011: including current control file in backup set RMAN-08038: channel dev_0: starting piece 1 at 29-AUG-14 [Normal] From: OB2BAR_SBT_CHANNEL@pdb1.mydc.hk "PRD" Time: 29-Aug-14 6:02:36 AM Starting OB2BAR Backup: pdb1r.mydc.hk:PRD-DB.dbf "Oracle8" I wonder why level 1 backup gives full backup message. Would anyone please help? Sorry for the naive question. Thanks a lot. Rgds
