How does RMAN channel take the backup ?

The work of each channel, whether of type disk or System Backup Tape (SBT), is subdivided into the following distinct phases:

    A channel reads blocks from disk into input I/O buffers.
  2. Copy Phase
    A channel copies blocks from input buffers to output buffers and performs additional processing on the blocks.
  3. Write Phase
    A channel writes the blocks from output buffers to storage media. The write phase can take either of the following mutually exclusive forms, depending on the type of backup media:
