This feature only helps reduce the time/size taken for incremental
backups since it backups up modified blocks only (stored in a binary
file) - doesn't read the entire db to figure what changed as in
versions prior to 10g. The problem is with RMAN restore. We have a 5
TB db, just image restoring this from tape via RMAN.
