POPULATE_BACKUP

This procedure pushes the specified backup piece into the delta store.

Use this procedure to initially populate the delta store or to correct corruption in the delta store. The delta store is backup data that supports an incremental-forever backup solution. Only incremental backups (not KEEP backups) can become part of the delta store.

Syntax

PROCEDURE populate_backup_piece(
   backup_piece_key IN NUMBER,
   comments IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Table 22-37 POPULATE_BACKUP_PIECE Parameters

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`backup_piece_key`	Either the backup piece key provided by the Recovery Appliance when it detected a corruption, or the backup piece to insert into the delta store. If the key represents a virtual backup piece, then the Recovery Appliance searches for a backup piece to resolve corruption in the delta store. If the key does not represent a virtual backup, then the Recovery Appliance inserts this backup piece into the delta store. This backup must be an incremental backup that is not a `KEEP` backup.
`comments`	Optional user supplied comment describing reason for executing this command.
