-o online
Creates an online virtual copy of a database while it is OPEN (online) prior to backup. This
option is ignored if a virtual copy is specified. The offline , online , datafile, and
archonly options are mutually exclusive.
-o hotbkup
This option is the same as the -o online option. This option is deprecated and will be
removed at a later release.

This option is ignored if a virtual copy is specified. The offline , online , datafile, and
archonly options are mutually exclusive.

Same as the -o offline option. This option is deprecated and will be removed at a later

-o datafile
Creates an virtual copy for all datafiles (not including the archive log destinations) of a
database while it is OPEN (online) prior to backup. This option is ignored if a virtual copy is
specified. The online, offline, datafile, and archonly options are mutually exclusive. A
virtual copy created with the -o datafile option is only useful when archive logfiles
generated during the creation of the virtual copy are also available. You may want to
create separate virtual copies using the -o archonly options, or use another backup
method to backup archive log destinations.
-o archonly
Creates a virtual copy of the archive log destination prior to backup. This option cannot be
used if a virtual copy is specified. The offline , online , datafile, and archonly options
are mutually exclusive.
-o full
Performs a full backup of a virtual copy. If Veritas NetBackup is selected as the backup
method, this option can be used with the -o archonly option to perform full backup of
an archonly virtual copy. If Oracle RMAN is selected as the backup method, this option can
be used to perform full backup of an online or offline virtual copy.
