There are many actions you can take after creating a snapshot of your database
using Database FlashSnap. You can create a clone of the database for backup and
off-host processing purposes. You can resynchronize the snapshot volumes with
the primary database. In the event of primary database failure, you can recover
it by reverse resynchronizing the snapshot volumes.
Figure 13-4 shows the actions you can perform after creating a snapshot of your
database using Database FlashSnap.
