As you can see, it is possible with the command to check several information about the created backup images, such as which tablespaces was made backup, what was the range of log files used, the directory where the image was created, the backup type and the start / end time of the backup process.

Some of the important information in the history file is:

Op
    This is the operation that was performed. In the exampled above it is a "B" which stands for backup. A list of the possible values for Op can be found in the Command Reference under the LIST HISTORY command.

Obj
    This is the granularity of the backup. "D" for database backup . "T" for tablespace backup.

Earliest Log
    In the case of an online backup, this is the first log required for the rollforward operation.

Current Log
    The last log that was written to when the backup completed. In the case of an online backup, this is the minimum log required for the backup to complete.

Type
    For backup operations, type "F" means full offline backup, "N" means full online backup, "I" means incremental offline backup, "O" means incremental online backup, "D" means delta offline backup and "E" means delta online backup.

The status of a backup operation: A - active, I - inactive, E - expired, or D - deleted
