Great question, CDP is compatible with Oracle but to answer your question properly we need to explain CDP more and how that fits.

Veeam’s CDP implementation supports both short-term and long-term retention and has different feature sets depending on the option used to support the aggressiveness of the RPO required.

Short-Term retention focuses on crash-consistency, as you can target extremely aggressive RPOs such as 2 seconds (though realistically this is likely sub-optimal for most environments). So you’d be relying on logs for transaction roll up most likely.

Long-Term retention enables the option of application-consistency, you’d target a less aggressive RPO but enable Veeam to perform application-consistent replication. This would be suitable during periods of low utilisation (if your environment has the luxury of not being a 24x7 operation!)

Hopefully this helps

CDP features two types of “retention”:

• Short-term: this is journal-based, so you can go back to any point in time inside this period of time. If for example you define a 5 seconds RPO and a 1 hour short-term retention window, you can failover to any point in time in the latest hour, at 5-seconds increments. These points in time are always crash-consistent.
   
• Long-term: this is basically the replica restore points you already know from non-CDP replicas. These additional restore points can be either application-consistent or crash-consistent based on the settings. The usual Veeam Application-Aware Image Processing is used here, so Oracle (on both Windows and Linux) is supported - except for RAC clusters and multiple Oracle versions on the same machine.

Ah, I see @MicoolPaul beat me to it while I was writing  Good stuff!

Yours was better as you put in the pictures!
