There is no need to do anything manually for BEGIN/END backup switch. BRBACKUP will takecare for this, only do if you have terminated the backup.

Hello Erika,

Before the tablespaces are backup-ed , they must go in backup mode.

The following command brings the tablespace in backup mode:

Alter tablespace <Tablespace name> begin backup

After the tablespaces are backup-ed, they must be in online mode again

The following command brings the tablespace in online mode:

Alter tablespace <Tablespace name> end backup

Is this the information you are looking for?

Executing the 'brbackup' with required options will execute the begin backup & end backup commands internally. We are not required to specify them.
