VMS Help  —  RMU72  Backup  Database  Command Qualifiers, Include
    Include[=storage-area[,...]]

    Specifies storage areas that you want to include in the backup
    file. If you specify neither the Include nor the Exclude
    qualifier with the RMU Backup command, a full and complete
    backup operation is performed on the database by default. You
    can specify the Include=* qualifier to indicate that you want
    all storage areas included in the backup file, but this is
    unnecessary because this is the default behavior. The default
    behavior is performed also when you specify the Include qualifier
    without specifying a list of storage area names.

    If you specify a list of storage area names with the Include
    qualifier, Oracle RMU includes those storage areas in the backup
    operation and excludes all of the other storage areas. If you
    specify more than one database storage area in the Include
    qualifier, place a comma between each storage area name and
    enclose the list of names within parentheses.

    You cannot specify the Exclude=area-list and Include=area-list
    qualifiers in the same RMU Backup command.

    If you use the Include qualifier, your backup operation will be
    a by-area backup operation because the areas not specified with
    the Include qualifier are excluded from the backup file. If you
    do not back up all of the areas in the database, you receive the
    following informational message:

    %RMU-I-NOTALLARE, Not all areas will be included in this backup file

    By using the RMU Backup and RMU Restore commands, you can back up
    and restore selected storage areas of your database. This Oracle
    RMU backup and restore by area feature is designed to:

    o  Speed recovery when corruption occurs in some (not all) of the
       storage areas of your database

    o  Reduce the time needed to perform backup operations because
       some data (data in read-only storage areas, for example) does
       not need to be backed up with every backup operation performed
       on the database

    See the description of the Exclude qualifier for information on
    the implications of using these commands to back up and restore
    selected areas of your database.

    The Include qualifier can be used with indirect file references.
    See the Indirect-Command-Files help entry for more information.
