Examples

Example 4-35 Specifying an ASM Disk Group

This example copies the database to ASM disk group DISK1:

BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE TO DESTINATION '+DATAFILE';

Example 4-36 Specifying a Destination for Datafile Copies

This example copies two datafiles with tag LATESTCOPY to directory /disk2:

BACKUP AS COPY
 COPY OF DATAFILE 27, 28
 FROM TAG 'LATESTCOPY'  TO DESTINATION '/disk2';

Example 4-37 Specifying a Destination for Recovery Area files

This example copies all recovery area files to /disk2:

Because Backup Recovery Area has backup optimization enabled by default, RMAN only skips backups of files that previously exist on /disk2 and not ones that reside in other locations.

Note: This subclause, when used in conjunction with the BACKUP RECOVERY AREA, allows you to designate a disk channel as a location.

BACKUP RECOVERY AREA TO DESTINATION '/disk2';
