rmcheckpoint

Purpose

Use the rmcheckpoint command to remove checkpoint information for the specified jobs. When you issue this command, Oracle Secure Backup immediately removes all administrative-host resident checkpoint data for the specified job. It cleans up filer-resident data at the beginning of the next backup of this filer or within 24 hours, whichever comes first.

If no checkpoints exist, then obtool displays the following error message:

Error: no checkpoints matched the selection criteria.
