VMS Help  —  RMU72  Dump  Backup File, Command Qualifiers, Options
    Options=options-list

    Specifies the type of information and level of detail the output
    will include. If you do not specify the Options qualifier or if
    you specify the Options=Normal qualifier, the backup file will
    be read, but dump output is not generated. This is useful for
    confirming that the backup file is structured correctly and
    the media is readable for the RMU Restore command. However,
    this command does not indicate if the data in a backup file is
    corrupted, nor does it guarantee that a restore operation will
    succeed.

    If you specify more than one option, you must separate the
    options with a comma, and enclose the options-list parameter
    within parentheses. Eight types of output are available:

    o  Records

       Dumps the backup file record structure.

    o  Blocks

       Dumps the backup file block structure.

    o  Data

       The Data option can be used with either the Records option,
       the Blocks option, or both. When specified with the Records
       and Blocks options, the Data option dumps the contents of the
       backup file's records and blocks. When you do not specify the
       Data option, the Records and Blocks options dump the backup
       file's record structure and block structure only, not their
       contents.

    o  Journal

       Dumps the contents of the journal file.

       Use the Journal option of the RMU Dump Backup_File command to
       direct Oracle RMU to dump the journal file created with the
       RMU Backup command with the Journal qualifier. The RMU Backup
       command with the Journal qualifier creates a journal file
       to which it writes a description of the backup operation,
       including identification of the tape volumes and their
       contents. You can use the output of the RMU Dump Backup_File
       with the Journal qualifier to identify the contents of each of
       the tapes that comprises the backup file.

    o  Root

       Dumps the database root file contents as recorded in the
       backup file. This includes a dump of the database backup
       header information.

    o  Normal

       The backup file will be read, but no dump output is generated.
       This is useful to verify the integrity of the backup file
       format and to detect media errors.

    o  Full

       Specifying the Full option is the same as specifying the Root,
       Records, and Blocks options. Includes a dump of the database
       backup header information. The contents of the backup file's
       record structure and block structure are not dumped when the
       Full option is specified.

    o  Debug

       Specifying the Debug option is the same as specifying the
       Root, Records, Blocks, Full, and Data options. The contents
       of the backup file's header, record structure, and block
       structure are dumped when the Debug option is specified.
