160.Which two statements are true about the duplexing of the backups taken by RMAN? (Choose two.)
A. It's only supported for the backups performed on the tape
B. It is not supported for backup operations that produce image copies
C. Duplex backups need a parallelism for the device to be equal to number of copies
D. Duplex backups can be performed to either disk or tape, but cannot be performed on tape and disk simultaneously
Answer: BDConfiguring Backup Duplexing
You
can use the CONFIGURE ... BACKUP COPIES
command to specify how many copies of each backup
piece should be created on the specified device type for the specified type of file. This type of backup is known as a duplexed
backup set. The CONFIGURE
settings for duplexing only affect backups of data files, control files, and archived logs into backup sets, and do not affect image copies.
Note:
A control file autobackup is never duplexed.RMAN can duplex backups to either disk or tape, but cannot duplex backups to tape and disk simultaneously. When backing up to tape, ensure that the number of copies does not exceed the number of available tape devices. The following examples show possible duplexing configurations:
To return a BACKUP
COPIES
configuration to its default value, run the same CONFIGURE
command with the CLEAR
option, as in the following example:
By default, CONFIGURE
...
BACKUP
COPIES
is set to 1
for each device type.
Note:
If you do not want to create a persistent copies configuration, then you can specify copies with theBACKUP
COPIES
and the SET
BACKUP COPIES
commands.
