BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
The next day, you issue the following command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE;
Which statement about the use of the change tracking file is true?
A. RMAN reads the block change tracking file only when it performs the incremental level 0 backup.
B. RMAN reads the block change tracking file when it performs both incremental backups.
C. RMAN reads the block change tracking file only when it performs the incremental level 1 backup.
D. RMAN does not read the block change tracking file when it performs either incremental backup.
Answer: C
0是全备,1是在上一个0或上一个1级上的增备

Incremental Backups
An INCREMENTAL backup at level 0 backs up all data blocks in data files being backed up. An incremental backup at level 0 is identical in content to a FULL
backup, but unlike a full backup the level 0 backup is a part of the incremental backup strategy.
A level 1 backup copies only changed blocks. A level 1 incremental backup is either differential or CUMULATIVE
. If cumulative, RMAN backs up all blocks changed since the most recent level 0 backup. If differential, RMAN backs up blocks updated since the most recent level 0 or level 1 incremental backup. You can apply a level 1 backup of a standby database to a level 0 backup of a primary database, and also apply a level 1 backup of a primary database to a level 0 backup of a standby database.
Incremental backups at level 0 can be either backup sets or image copies, but incremental backups at level 1 can only be backup sets.
