Explanation

In incremental backup only the changed blocks are backup up. Exadata Cell has offload capabilities that further speed up incremental backups. Its offload capability combines with RMAN block change tracking to efficiently perform large I/Os at the storage-tier level, returning only individual changed blocks for incremental backups and increasing the backup performance of the system.
