My question about incremental backup [message #529172]

Hello

I've seen that RMAN sometimes read and apply "incremental level 1" backups in RESTORE stage and sometimes at RECOVER stage

I don't know what conditions cause RMAN read and apply incremental level 1 backups at RECOVER stage
and what conditions cause RMAN read and apply incremental level 1 backups at RESTORE stage

can you tell me ?

thanks

I thought that incremental level 1 backups were applied only during RECOVER, never during RESTORE. Can you copy/paste an RMAN session that shows a level 1 being applied in a RESTORE command?

Hi

In follow I pasted a RMAN log that RMAN has used some incremental backups in RESTORE stage and some in RECOVER stage (all logs are related to full restore and recover of a big database)
In this restore RMAN not only used incremental backups in RESTORE stage but even before the full backup
(I didn't paste all log )

Hi - the message that indicates applying an incremental backup is "starting incremental datafile backup set restore" which occurs only during your recoverey, not during the restore.

Why do you believe that an incremental is being applied during the restore? Is it because of this message:

piece handle=/RmanAramis/arahisto/bs/db_incre_date_20111006_ts_763786071_ARAHISTO_3587.bk tag=TAG20111006T020003 params=NULL
channel ORA_DISK_3: restore complete

Just because the name includes the string "...incre..." does not mean that it is an incremental level 1 rather than a level 0. Is it possible that your backup script requested a level 1 backup, but because no level 0 existed at that time RMAN did a level 0 instread, and that is what is being restored? Remember that a FULL backup can't be used as a basis for a level 1. I am relying on your naming convention: the tag FULL_WEEKLY_L0 suggests that it was created as FULL rather than level0.

I think it uses incremental 1 backup in restore when the file didn't exist in incremental 0 or full (that is when it has been created after the incremental 0).

Thank all of you

Michel you are right if we add a datafile after incremental level 0 backup then we backup incremental level 1 , In RESTORE rman uses the incremental level 1 backup
