Can you confirm that this backup will be placed in the FRA, it will backup all datafile, control files, spfile and control files all arhchivle logs and when backup finshes then will delete all archive logs ?+
after running that command yo can confirm it by yourself at RMAN prompt.
RMAN> list backup;

Would then this be incremental level 0 backup ?
yes by default i think so.
so with this i must be able to flasback my database at least 3 day in the past if i understood correctly.
But i am little puzled about purging those flasback data ...
Can you point me please to some link or tell how can i purge logs that are not need for that flashback period... ?
please read this link
