Restarting RMAN backups, and have them distinguish between prior level 0 & level 1 backups

Hi All;

We would like to be able to script backups such that they will backup tablespaces missed within a time frame, and also distinguish betwen the types of the last successful backup. So for example:

-A complete level 1 finsihed on Tuesday.

- A partial level 0 finished on Sunday

- Would want to restart the level 0 on Wednesday, and have it backup whatever was missed in the Sunday level 0 backup, regardless of what happened on Tuesday.

As far as I know, RMAN can not distinguish between the Tuesday level 1, and the Sunday level 0. So a restart on Wednesday would backup nothing.

Does anyone know a way around this, or if this is a planned enhancement for RMAN?

Howdy, Stranger!
