OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-s <oracle_sid>

The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.

-p <db_server>

The host name of the database server, on which the Oracle database instance is running. The
value of the database server name must match the output of the hostname command.

-t <timestamp>

The timestamp of a Virtual Copy to be backed up. The Virtual Copy name can be obtained using
the rmora_display command.

-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 archlog
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.

-o offline

Creates an offline Virtual Copy of a database while it is CLOSED (offline) prior to backup. This
option is ignored if a Virtual Copy is specified. The offline, online, datafile, and archlog
options are mutually exclusive.

-o coldbkup

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

-o datafile

Creates an Virtual Copy for all datafiles (not including the archive log destinations and temporary
datafile) 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 archlog 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 archlog options, or use another backup method to
backup archive log destinations.

-o archlog

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 archlog options are
mutually exclusive.

-o archonly

Same as the -o archlog command. This option is deprecated.

-o full

Performs a full backup of a Virtual Copy. If Symantec NetBackup is selected as the backup method,
this option can be used with the -o archlog option to perform full backup of an archlog
Virtual Copy. Recovery Manager for Oracle will only use one incremental schedule name for either
