Incremental Backups in RMAN
Hi all,
I was just wondering using about incremental backup strategy with RMAN. What is the effect of doing an incremenal backup level 0 every day? Does it mean that whole db will be backep daily or does it mean only changed blocks are being backed up?. Reason i ask is that i have been noticing that our backup sizes have been going down and was wondering if this has anything to do with it!
Thanks in advance,
Chucks

The only difference between a full backup and a Level 0 Inc backup is that Level 0 Inc backup can be use as a reference for higher level inc backup whereas full backup can not.
