well as examine and save configuration information for database recovery.
The Display Database/VxDBA Information menu provides access to the following
operations:

◆ 3 - Storage Checkpoint Administration
Use this menu to create, display, mount, unmount, and remove Storage Checkpoints. A Storage
Checkpoint can be considered an online database backup that contains a snapshot image of the
database when the Storage Checkpoint was created. You can then use these Storage
Checkpoints to roll back the image of a database, a tablespace, or a datafile to some earlier
state.
The Storage Checkpoint Administration menu provides access to the following operations:
◆ Create New Storage Checkpoints
◆ Display Storage Checkpoints
◆ Mount Storage Checkpoints
◆ Unmount Storage Checkpoints
◆ Remove Storage Checkpoints
◆ 4 - Storage Rollback Administration
Use this menu to roll back a database, a tablespace, a datafile, or a list of datafiles to a Storage
Checkpoint and configure rollback options. You must shut down the instance to perform full
Storage Rollback of the database, or you can elect to leave the database up for file or
tablespace rollback. In this case, VxDBA will check if the target database objects are offline
before proceeding.
The Storage Rollback Administration menu provides access to the following operations:
◆ Roll Back the Database to a Storage Checkpoint
◆ Roll Back a Tablespace to a Storage Checkpoint
◆ Roll Back Files to a Storage Checkpoint
