Multisection Backup is a new feature of oracle11g (to be exact, starting with 11.1.0.6), see MOS article
multisection Backups (document ID 406295.1)
Let's do the experiment below:

A datafile, using the Backup section size method to do backups, divided into 3 backuppiece, because the above experiment is done in a channel, not to show the advantages of multiple channel simultaneous work, therefore, The datafile will be allocated 2 channel in a separate article to back up the.
