And of course there is the obvious reason, a level 0 also
backs up the controlfile. This is essential for point in tijme
recovery.

Subject: Re: RMAN backup
How about switching to incremental (from "full") backups?
Even if all you
do are level-0 backups?
My understanding of the
difference between a "full" and a "level-0" backup
(besides the obvious
impact on any subsequent level-n incremental backups)
is that level-0
backups only back up database blocks that are currently in
use, as opposed
to "full" backups which back up all database blocks which
have ever been
used (i.e. no longer "unformatted").
