You perform a selective online full backup when the database is online. A selective copy subclient includes the data, logs and control file. The advantage of a selective online full backup is that the data and logs use the same storage policy, which means that they reside on the same media and are self-contained for long-term archiving. You can use this in a disaster recovery, because you do not need to locate different media from multiple jobs to recover the database.
For more information on selective online full backups, see Selective Online Full Backups.
