Semantics
Specifies the name of an NDMP host. If you do not specify a host name, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value from the host variable.
Specifies the name of an NDMP file system. If you do not specify the --fs
option, then the fs
variable must be set.
Does not wait for the snapshot operation to complete.
Specifies the name to give the new snapshot. Snapshot names must conform to the filename rules in effect where the snapshot is created.

on the NDMP host named lucy
.
