 The tool will take backups of the tablespace datafiles and create a metadata bundle. Both backups and the bundle will be uploaded to the provided OCI Object Storage buckets or FSS Mount Targets.

 ### Create Dynamic Group and Policy
 
 Transportable Tablespaces functionality will download metadata from OCI Object Storage metadata bucket using [OCI Resource Principal](https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/autonomous-database/serverless/adbsb/resource-principal.html). Create Dynamic Group and Policy to allow access to the metadata bucket using the resource principal.

 ### Incremental Migration
 
-If user is performing an incremental migration operation, repeat Backup Tablespaces step at source database for each incremental using the same set of inputs. Backup Utility will output a new OCI Object Storage URL / FSS Mount Target path corresponding to that increment. Use the OCI Object Storage URL to update the Autonomous AI Database created with the first backup above. Set FINAL_BACKUP=TRUE in the input file before performing final backup.
