9.Optionally, schedule the backup. For more details, see “Scheduling a Backup” on page 58.

Click Next.

10.Save the backup specification. It is recommended that you save all Oracle backup specifications in the Oracle group.

IMPORTANT	The word DEFAULT is a reserved word and therefore must not be used for
	backup specification names or labels of any kind. Oracle does not allow
	full stops in backup piece. Therefore, do not use a punctuation in the
	names of backup specifications, since the Oracle channel format is
	created from the backup specification name.
