•Depending on the backup objects selection, an RMAN backup statement for the backup of the whole database instance, and/or for any combination of RMAN commands to back up tablespaces, datafile, or the flash recovery area. The backup statement consists of the following:

—The Oracle format of the backup file in the following format:

format

'<Backup_Specification_Name><<DB_NAME>_%s:%t:%p>.dbf' database;

When an Oracle format of the backup file is manually defined or changed by editing the RMAN script, any user-defined combination of the Oracle substitution variables can be added to the %s:%t:%p substitution variables and <DB_NAME>, which are obligatory.

—The RMAN datafile <tablespace_name>*<datafile_name> command.

sql 'alter system archive log current';

The backup statement consists of the following:
