RMAN incremental Backup in Oracle 10g

RMAN incremental backup option backs up blocks that have changed since the last incremental backup at the same level or below. For instance, a full backup (level_0) is taken on day 1 and two incrementals of level_1 are taken on days 2 and 3. The latter two merely back up the changed blocks between days 1 and 2 and days 2 and 3, not across the entire backup time. This strategy reduces backup size, requiring less space
