Then what is this statement refering to? incremental backup also available on export/import method not only on RMAN. Seem you are prefer RMAN rahter than dd. why??? is that just because you are using RMAN or what?

look, i never use RMAN before as well as dd for RAW, that why i'm asking your opinion. Is there someone else here have experiance on this?

As far as i'm concern RMAN:
- use another DB to store it catalog -> therefore it requre another space
- RMAN db need to recover it is crash -> else main db unrecoverable
- lots of issue especially bug
