RMAN 与control文件和spfile文件的备份

以10.2为例，官方文档如此说：

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmconc1.htm

The RMAN behavior when the BACKUP command includes datafile 1 depends on the CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting.

If control file autobackups are ON and the backup includes datafile 1, RMAN writes the control file and SPFILE to a separate autobackup backup set.

If control file autobackups are OFF and the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN includes the current control file and SPFILE in the same backup set as the datafiles.

这是比较奇怪的。作试验进行初步验证：

上述内容是10.2的官方文档，而我用的测试环境是11.2：

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ORCL are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default

可以注意到上面有一句话：

including current control file in backup set

以及：

including current SPFILE in backup set

这里，o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20140329T201841_9mfgqt2s_.bkp 就存储了 spfile和control file的备份。

似乎除了备份集里有，还自动备份了一份出来。
