Why might full image copies be faster to implement than an
incremental image copy?

Answer Posted / mahesh vasudevan

It all depends on the size of the tablespace. Full image
copy gives us full recovery consitent state. In case of
Incremental image copy the page needs to be checked against
the condition provided for incremental image copy and in
addition to it just by merging the incremental image copies
we can not get a full recovery of tablespaces...additional
archive log records and prior full image copies are
required. so from the recovery point of view full image copy
would be faster than these incremental image copy.....by the
way the question should be very precise and not be vauge as
it has been posted.
