The RMU Move_Area command lets you modify certain area parameters when the move operation is performed. All the files are processed simultaneously during the move operation. The performance of the RMU Move_Area command is similar to that of the RMU Backup command, and it eliminates the need for intermediate storage media. Note that when a snapshot file is moved, Oracle RMU does not actually move the snapshot file; instead, Oracle RMU re-creates and initializes the snapshot file in the specified location. See the description of the Snapshot qualifier for more information about using this qualifier, including information on its proper usage. NOTE You must perform a full and complete Oracle RMU backup operation immediately after the Oracle RMU move area operation completes to ensure that the database can be properly restored after a database failure or corruption.
