3. On the Backup Options for Subclient dialog box, select the backup type and initiation:
1. In the Backup Type section, choose the backup type.

Older Backs up or deletes logs older than the specified number of days

By Log Backs up or deletes logs in the specified time range.
Time Select the Start Time and End Time check boxes and enter the start and end times of the logs.
If you only specify the start log time, all logs are backed up from the start time to the current time.
By Log Backs up or deletes logs in a specified sequence range.
Seq The Log Sequence Number uniquely identifies an archive log. For example, if you create a database
Num with two online log files, then the first file is assigned log sequence number1. When the first file fills,
Oracle switches to the second file and assigns a log sequence number of 2.
Select the Start Sequence Number and End Sequence Number check boxes and enter the beginning
and ending sequence numbers
By Sys Backs up or deletes logs in the specified System Change Number range.
change The SCN is a stamp that defines a committed version of a database at a point in time. Oracle assigns
Num every committed transaction a unique SCN. For example, SCNs of two successive committed
transactions could be 576601 and 576799.
Select the Start Sys chg Num and End Sys chg Num check boxes and enter the beginning and ending
SCNs:
The end serial number must be greater than or equal to the start serial number. •
The start and the end SCN cannot be 0.
If you provide only the start SCN, is the only one provided, only the logs starting that start from that
sequence number are backed up.
Like Backs up or deletes logs with a file name that starts with a specified string.
