Support for partial-full backups

Overview

Delphix Engine version 6.0.8.0 introduces an option to perform partial full backup via the CLI. A full backup of specified datafiles will be performed, along with an incremental backup of the remaining files.

Prerequisites

1. The requested datafiles must exist in the database for which SnapSync is being run.

2. In case of a multitenant database, the datafiles can belong to either the PDB or its CDB.

3. The requested datafiles must be online.

4. Partial full SnapSync cannot be requested for an initial SnapSync.

5. Partial full SnapSync cannot be run if there is a pending SnapSync.

Command

ssh delphix_admin@yourengine 
delphix> database

delphix database 'CDOMLOSR1CEBPDB3'> sync 
delphix database 'CDOMLOSR1CEBPDB3' sync *> set filesForFullBackup=1,2
