Same as in normal operation. That's where the before image of any data
changed is stored for undo. My point was that Oracle operates as you
would normally expect it to, except the header block of the files are
frozen at the start backup checkpoint, and you generate more redo as it
is logging the stuff that needs to be applied when restored (until the
end backup command).
