Consistency of Incrementally Updated Backups

in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi I'm testing (Oracle Enterprise 19) Incrementally Updated Backups using this script with the db in open state:

BACKUP
INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1
FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG 'incr_update'
DATABASE;
RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE
WITH TAG 'incr_update';
DELETE OBSOLETE;

I'm confused about recovery copy of database command because it is a recovery (so it should made files consistent) but using an hot backup that is inherently inconsistent.

My db runs in archive log mode but the question is, my copy of datafiles after the second command (recover copy .. ) are consistent or they still need archivelog to be restored successfully like typical rman hot backup?
