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.
