-t

The timestamp of a Virtual Copy to be backed up. The Virtual Copy name can be obtained using
the rmora_display command.

-o online

Creates an online Virtual Copy of a database while it is OPEN (online) prior to backup. This option
is ignored if a Virtual Copy is specified. The offline, online, datafile, and archlog
options are mutually exclusive.

-o offline

Creates an offline Virtual Copy of a database while it is CLOSED (offline) prior to backup. This
option is ignored if a Virtual Copy is specified. The offline, online, datafile, and archlog
options are mutually exclusive.

-o datafile

datafile) of a database while it is OPEN (online) prior to backup. This option is ignored if a Virtual
Copy is specified. The online, offline, datafile, and archlog options are mutually
exclusive. A Virtual Copy created with the -o datafile option is only useful when archive
logfiles generated during the creation of the Virtual Copy are also available. You may want to
create separate Virtual Copies using the -o archlog options, or use another backup method to
backup archive log destinations.

-o archlog

Creates a Virtual Copy of the archive log destination prior to backup. This option cannot be used
if a Virtual Copy is specified. The offline, online, datafile, and archlog options are
mutually exclusive.

-o full

Performs a full backup of a Virtual Copy. If Symantec NetBackup is selected as the backup method,
this option can be used with the -o archlog option to perform full backup of an archlog
Virtual Copy. Recovery Manager for Oracle will only use one incremental schedule name for either
differential incremental or cumulative incremental backup, which is predefined in the NBU schedule.
If Oracle RMAN is selected as the backup method, this option can be used to perform full backup
of an online, offline, or datafile Virtual Copy.

-o incr

with HP Data Protector backup.If Symantec NetBackup is selected as the backup method, this

Performs a cumulative incremental backup of a Virtual Copy. This option is not applicable for
Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector backup.If Symantec NetBackup is selected as the backup
method, this option can be used with the -o archlog option to perform a cumulative incremental
backup of an archlog Virtual Copy. Recovery Manager for Oracle will only use one incremental
schedule name for either differential incremental or cumulative incremental backup, which is
predefined in the NBU schedule. If Oracle RMAN is selected as the backup method, this option
can be used to perform a cumulative incremental backup of an online or offline Virtual Copy.

-o incr1|incr2|incr3|incr4
