Here are a few more useful KEYWORDs and SubClauses
SECTION SIZE
SECTION SIZE allows you to split a single Database file into multiple sections. Note : A Database File span BackupPieces. The difference between BackupPieces and Sections is that the former are serially done while Sections can be done in-parallel. (SECTION SIZE cannot be used with MAXPIECESIZE). Here, I first show a datafile in 4 BackupPieces defined by SECTION SIZE.
Note how the blocks of the datafile are allocated to each Section. Section 1 is for Blocks 1 to 51200. Section 2 is for Blocks 51201 to 102400. And so on for subsequent Sections.
Next, I run two channels for in-parallel backups of the sections, still comprising of one BackupSet for the datafile.
Thus, we have BackupSet 72 consisting of the 4 BackupPieces. The BackupPieces were created using 2 Channels running in-parallel with different ranges of Blocks.
FORMAT (and the FRA)
If you use the FRA with db_recovery_file_dest, Oracle tracks usage against the limit specified by db_recovery_file_dest_size.
However, if you use the FORMAT clause, such backups are *not* tracked as being part of the FRA. This also means that Oracle would under-report usage of the FRA and wouldn't be able to identify when the FRA nears the limit.
For example, I first report the FRA usage and then run Backups without and and then with the FORMAT clause. Note how the FRA usage report reflects the Backups without the FORMAT clause only.
Note how the first backup (which did NOT specify a FORMAT clause) consisted of 5 BackupPieces for the Datafiles plus 1 for the AutoBackup. The NUMBER_OF_FILES for BACKUP PIECE in v$flash_recovery_area_usage was updaetd from 34 to 40.
However, while the second backup with the FORMAT clause (actually pointing to the same physical directory) created 5 Datafile BackupPieces and 1 AutoBackup again, the count in v$flash_recovery_area_usage did NOT increment by 6 (the increment by 1 is for the AutoBackup).
Thus, for this second, with FORMAT clause, backup, while a LIST BACKUP command would show it and the backup would be usable for Restore scenarios, v$flash_recovery_area_usage does not track it. Therefore, Oracle hasn't incremented the PERCENT_SPACE_USED either. This PERCENT_SPACE_USED is very important for Oracle to automatically purge older (i.e. OBSOLETE) backups when space usage hits critical limits.
TAG
The TAG clause allows us to specifically define our own Tags. Note my previous backups showed a TAG that indicates merely date and time as in :
However, I can use the TAG clause to identify specific Backups distinctively. Later, for the RESTORE command, the known TAG becomes useful as I can RESTORE FROM TAG. Here's how I create backups with specific TAGs.
Notice how the latest backup of Tablespace HEMANT is tagged by the TAG I had specified during the BACKUP run.
completed after "..date/time clause"
Note how, in the listings above, I have used the 'completed after "trunc(sysdate)" ' and 'completed after "(sysdate-5/1440)" to specify a Date/Time as a filter.
Here's another example to show Backups completed in the month of July-2015. (The two backups of 23-Jun-2015 are excluded).
This shows that I can use Date Format masks in my filter.
Here's another example (note : if you use 'between', it seems that the two date formats must match, else no records are returned as in the first listing below):
Thus, you can identify a list of backups by time ranges as well !

SECTION SIZE
SECTION SIZE allows you to split a single Database file into multiple sections. Note : A Database File span BackupPieces. The difference between BackupPieces and Sections is that the former are serially done while Sections can be done in-parallel. (SECTION SIZE cannot be used with MAXPIECESIZE). Here, I first show a datafile in 4 BackupPieces defined by SECTION SIZE.

Note how the first backup (which did NOT specify a FORMAT clause) consisted of 5 BackupPieces for the Datafiles plus 1 for the AutoBackup. The NUMBER_OF_FILES for BACKUP PIECE in v$flash_recovery_area_usage was updaetd from 34 to 40.
However, while the second backup with the FORMAT clause (actually pointing to the same physical directory) created 5 Datafile BackupPieces and 1 AutoBackup again, the count in v$flash_recovery_area_usage did NOT increment by 6 (the increment by 1 is for the AutoBackup).
Thus, for this second, with FORMAT clause, backup, while a LIST BACKUP command would show it and the backup would be usable for Restore scenarios, v$flash_recovery_area_usage does not track it. Therefore, Oracle hasn't incremented the PERCENT_SPACE_USED either. This PERCENT_SPACE_USED is very important for Oracle to automatically purge older (i.e. OBSOLETE) backups when space usage hits critical limits.
TAG
The TAG clause allows us to specifically define our own Tags. Note my previous backups showed a TAG that indicates merely date and time as in :

However, I can use the TAG clause to identify specific Backups distinctively. Later, for the RESTORE command, the known TAG becomes useful as I can RESTORE FROM TAG. Here's how I create backups with specific TAGs.

Notice how the latest backup of Tablespace HEMANT is tagged by the TAG I had specified during the BACKUP run.
completed after "..date/time clause"
Note how, in the listings above, I have used the 'completed after "trunc(sysdate)" ' and 'completed after "(sysdate-5/1440)" to specify a Date/Time as a filter.
Here's another example to show Backups completed in the month of July-2015. (The two backups of 23-Jun-2015 are excluded).

This shows that I can use Date Format masks in my filter.
Here's another example (note : if you use 'between', it seems that the two date formats must match, else no records are returned as in the first listing below):
RMAN> list backup completed between
2> "to_date('19-JUL-2015 22:45:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
3> and
4> "to_date(sysdate)";
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> list backup completed between
2> "to_date('19-JUL-2015 22:45:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
3> and
