Backup Terminology

I have just discovered the following "Level 0 - Performs a complete backup of all items chosen in the Selections tab (also referred to as a Full backup).  Level 1 - Backs up any changes made to selected data since the last backup. This level of backup will truncate selected items (i.e., this is the same as an Informix Incremental, Normal backup).  Level 2 - Similar to a Level 1 backup, except that no truncating will occur (same as an Informix Incremental, No Truncate backup)." This is in the documentation of the BakBone NetVault storage manager which also refers to backing up databases, logs within databases, and backing up tablespaces using onbar. In other words the techncal writer has tried (in vain) to equate the way IDS works with the Oracle terminology. I dread to think how a DBA is supposed to make sense out of this. I now have the dubious honour of trying to educate DBAs on how they should implement this software combination. regards Malcolm
