tape_box
or
pipe_box
: Jukeboxes or autoloader tape devices which can be addressed locally or remotely. The drivers for the data transfer (cpio, dd) are defined in the parameters
tape_address
or
tape_address_arch
, the drivers for rewinding are defined in the parameters
tape_address_rew
or
tape_address_rew_arch
and the drivers for mounting and dismounting the tapes are defined in the parameters

util_file
or
util_file_online
: Use external backup programs for file-by-file backup. If you use this option, you may have to create a file containing the parameters required for that type of backup. If a parameter file of this type is required, you must specify the name of the file in the profile parameter
util_par_file
or with the option
-r
. Use parameter
util_file_online
for an online backup (if it is supported by the external backup program). This dynamically sets and ends the backup status of the tablespaces to be saved and thus greatly reduces the volume of offline redo log files during the backup.
