keepOptionOverrides any configured retention policy for this backup so that thebackup is not considered obsolete, as shown in Example 2-26. You can use the KEEP syntax to generate archival database backups that satisfy business or legal requirements. The KEEP setting is an attribute of the backup set (not individual backup piece) orimage copy.
Note: You cannot use KEEP with BACKUP BACKUPSET.
With the KEEP syntax, you can keep the backups so that they are considered obsolete after a specified time (KEEP UNTIL), or make them never obsolete (KEEP FOREVER). As shown in Example2-27, you must be connected to a recovery catalog when you specify KEEP FOREVER.
Note: You can use CHANGE to alter the status of a backup generated with KEEP.

Creating a Consistent Database Backup for Archival Purposes
This example uses a keepOption to create an archivalbackup set that cannot be considered obsolete for one year. The example backs up the database, archives the redo in the current online logs to ensure that this new backup is consistent, and backs up only those archived redolog files needed to restore the data file backup to a consistent state.
The BACKUP command also creates a restore point to match the SCN at which this backup is consistent. The FORMAT parameter must be capable of creating multiple backuppieces in multiple backup sets.
