Oracle 11g incremental level 2?

edited Aug 29, 2013 6:19AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓
We have recently upgraded a few test databases from  Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3.  I have not changed any backup commands yet to take advantage of any Oracle 11g improvements, but was just starting the research into it.  The Backup and Recovery manual says that INCREMENTAL LEVEL 2 (and higher) is deprecated, but I have been running BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 2 DATABASE on the 11g databases with no errors.  If level 2 is deprecated, and still runs, what exactly is RMAN doing? 

Howdy, Stranger!
