One of the ways to migrate a database to ASM is to use the Rman “Backup as Copy” command to create a database copy into ASM storage and then switch the database to the copy.

This technique can be used, combined with incremental backups, to move even very large databases into ASM.

The first backup may take a long time, one or more incremental backups can be used to update the first backup and close the gap, until a downtime window is obtained to switch the database on filesystem to the backup on ASM.
