About Storage Checkpoints

A Storage Checkpoint is like an online backup of a database that contains a

point-in-time database image. Storage Checkpoints can later be used to restore

the image of a datafile, a tablespace, or the entire database to any earlier state

recorded by the Storage Checkpoints.

Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle uses the SFDB repository to determine the

list of tablespaces, datafiles, and file systems for Storage Checkpoint creation and

removal.

For more information about Storage Checkpoints:

See the chapter on using Storage Checkpoints and Storage Rollback in the Veritas

Storage Foundation for Oracle Administrator's Guide.
