Snapshots=(Allocation=n,File=file-spec) Allows you to specify a new snapshot file allocation size, a new snapshot file location, or both, for the storage area to which the qualifier is applied. Use the Allocation=n option to specify the snapshot file allocation size in n pages; use the File=file-spec option to specify a new file location for the snapshot file associated with the area being moved. Note that when you specify a new file location for the snapshot file, the snapshot file is not actually moved; instead, Oracle RMU creates and initializes a new snapshot file in the specified directory. However, if a snapshot file is accidentally deleted or becomes corrupt, using this qualifier is not the recommended or supported method for re-creating the snapshot file. Use the RMU Repair command instead. See the Repair help entry for information on using the RMU Repair command to re-create and initialize a deleted or corrupted snapshot file. If the keyword Allocation is omitted, the original allocation is used, not the storage area's current allocation size. You cannot specify a snapshot file name for a single-file database. When you create a snapshot file, Oracle Rdb does not store the file specification of the snapshot file. Instead, it uses the file specification of the root file (.rdb) to determine the file specification of the snapshot file. See the Usage Notes for information on placing a snapshot file on a different device or directory when your database is a single- file database and for information on how this qualifier interacts with the Root, File, and Directory qualifiers. The Snapshot qualifier is a positional qualifier.
