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).
