Right. If you do begin backup/end backup, you should *not* snapshot online
redo, and you get a recoverable snapshot. If you do *not* do begin/end backup,
you *should* snapshot the online redo logs, and you get restartable snapshot.
Hope that helps,

I am not using it, but I understand that it works as long as you use the alter
database begin backup command prior to taking the snapshot (and the alter
database end backup command after taking it).
