Database_Verification Nodatabase_Verification The RMU /BACKUP command performs a limited database root file verification at the start of the backup operation. This verification is intended to help prevent backing up a database with various detectable corruptions or inconsistancies of the root file or associated database structures. However, in some limited cases, it can be desirable to avoid these checks. The qualifier /NODATABASE_VERIFICATION may be specified to avoid the database root file verification at the start of the backup. The default behavior is /DATABASE_VERIFICATION. Oracle strongly recommends accepting the default of /DATABASE_VERIFICATION.
