The inctype has not worked for at least 2 major version, here is a thread
I posted to oracle-l back in '04': Read from the bottom up.

My guess would be so that all of those exp scripts out there floating around don't bomb off with "invalid parameter" error but just ignore it and keep on running. No need to apologize, i rarely post except usually to be a smart ass but when i do post, i've already gone thru the procedure of proving the point so i dont look like a doofus posting errors :)

Joe,
Thank you. It's always nice to see someone take the time to prove what they say. My apologies for missing this on the list earlier.
It's curious...why would Oracle keep the parameter in exp and then tell you it is obsolete and it will be ignored? I'm sure they have a good reason, it just does not make much sense to this ol' dba...

EXP-00041: INCTYPE parameter is obsolete

Hi guys,
Just making sure I am reading this correctly.
Export: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Oct 28 08:37:20 2008
EXP-00041: INCTYPE parameter is obsolete
So exp no longer has INCTYPE available?
Is there an alternative I could use?
I need to backup incrementally without having to backup everything everytime.
I am not DBA, I am a power user. I have no access to RMAN and exp is the only way I can do backups.
Any suggestions and tips greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
