| RECID
 | NUMBER
 | Backup set record ID | 
| STAMP
 | NUMBER
 | Backup set record stamp | 
| SET_STAMP
 | NUMBER
 | Backup set stamp. The backup set stamp and count uniquely identify the backup set. Primary key for the V$BACKUP_SETtable, and the foreign key for the following tables:V$BACKUP_PIECE,V$BACKUP_DATAFILE,V$BACKUP_REDOLOG,V$BACKUP_CORRUPTION. | 
| SET_COUNT
 | NUMBER
 | Backup set count. The backup set count is incremented by one every time a new backup set is started (if the backup set is never completed the number is "lost"). If the control file is re-created then the count is reset to 1. Therefore the count must be used with the stamp to uniquely identify a backup set. Primary key for the V$BACKUP_SETtable, and the foreign key for the following tables:V$BACKUP_PIECE,V$BACKUP_DATAFILE,V$BACKUP_REDOLOG,V$BACKUP_CORRUPTION | 
| BACKUP_TYPE
 | VARCHAR2(1)
 | Type of files that are in this backup. If the backup contains archived redo logs, the value is L. If this is a data file full backup, the value isD. If this is an incremental backup, the value isI. | 
| CONTROLFILE_INCLUDED
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | Set to YESif there is a control file included in this backup set, otherwise set toNO | 
| INCREMENTAL_LEVEL
 | NUMBER
 | Location where this backup set fits into the database's backup strategy. Set to NULL for full datafile, archivelog, controlfile, and spfile backups, set to 0 for incremental level 0 datafile backups, and set to 1 for incremental level 1 datafile backups. | 
| PIECES
 | NUMBER
 | Number of distinct backup pieces in the backup set | 
| START_TIME
 | DATE
 | Starting time | 
| COMPLETION_TIME
 | DATE
 | Time that this backup set completed | 
| ELAPSED_SECONDS
 | NUMBER
 | The number of elapsed seconds | 
| BLOCK_SIZE
 | NUMBER
 | Block size of the backup set | 
| INPUT_FILE_SCAN_ONLY
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | YESindicates no actual backup is performed, but the data files are read.NOindicates a normal backup is performed.
 | 
| KEEP
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | (YES/NO) Indicates whether or not this backup set has a retention policy that is different than the value for the configure retention policy | 
| KEEP_UNTIL
 | DATE
 | If KEEP_UNTIL_TIME is specified, this is the date after which the backup becomes obsolete. If this column is null, then the backup never expires. | 
| KEEP_OPTIONS
 | VARCHAR2(11)
 | Lists additional retention options for this backup set. Possible values are: LOGS- The logs need to recover this backup are kept
 NOLOGS- The logs needed to recover this backup will not be kept
 BACKUP_LOGS- An archive log backup exists to support this backup set
 | 
| MULTI_SECTION
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | Indicates whether or not this backup set is a multi-section backup. Valid values are YESandNO. A multi-section backup is a backup in which multiple backup pieces are produced independently in parallel by multiple channels. | 
| FOR_XTTS
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | Indicates whether this is a cross platform backup set: | 
| SAME_ENDIAN
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | If the value of FOR_XTTSisYES, then this column indicates whether the backup set has the same endianess as the current database (YES) or not (NO); otherwiseNULL. | 
| INC_DMPFILE
 | VARCHAR2(3)
 | If the value of FOR_XTTSisYES, then this column indicates whether the backup set includes a Data Pump export file of the backed up data files (YES) or not (NO), otherwiseNULL. | 
| CON_ID
 | NUMBER
 | The ID of the container to which the data pertains. Possible values include: 
0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.
1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root
n: Where n is the applicable container ID for the rows containing data |
