Specifies a range of time for completion of the backup or copy.

DEVICE TYPE deviceSpecifier Allocates automatic channels for the specified device type only. This option is valid only if you have configured automatic channels and have not manually allocated channels. For example, if you configure automatic disk and tape channels, and issue CHANGE...DEVICE TYPE DISK, then RMAN allocates only disk channels.

LIKE 'string_pattern' Restricts datafile copies by specifying a filename pattern. The pattern can contain Oracle pattern matching characters % and _. RMAN only operates on those files whose name matches the pattern.

Note: You cannot use the LIKE option with the LIST...ARCHIVELOG command.

BACKED UP integer TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE deviceSpecifier Restricts the command to archived logs that have been successfully backed up integer or more times to the specified media.
TAG = 'tag_name' Specifies the datafile copies and backup sets by tag. Tag names are not case sensitive and display in all uppercase.

See Also: "BACKUP" for a description of how a tag can be applied to an individual copy of a duplexed backup set, and also for a description of the default filename format for tags
