%% Activate a checkpoint.
%%
%% A checkpoint is a transaction consistent state that may be used to
%% perform a distributed backup or to rollback the involved tables to
%% their old state. Backups may also be used to restore tables to
%% their old state. Args is a list of the following tuples:
%%
%% {name, Name}
%%    Name of checkpoint. Each checkpoint must have a name which
%%    is unique on the reachable nodes. The name may be reused when
%%    the checkpoint has been deactivated.
%%    By default a probably unique name is generated.
%%    Multiple checkpoints may be set on the same table.
%%
%% {allow_remote, Bool}
%%   false means that all retainers must be local. If the
%%   table does not reside locally, the checkpoint fails.
%%   true allows retainers on other nodes.
%%
%% {min, MinTabs}
%%   Minimize redundancy and only keep checkpoint info together with
%%   one replica, preferrably at the local node. If any node involved
%%   the checkpoint goes down, the checkpoint is deactivated.
%%
%% {max, MaxTabs}
%%    Maximize redundancy and keep checkpoint info together with all
%%    replicas. The checkpoint becomes more fault tolerant if the
%%    tables has several replicas. When new replicas are added, they
%%    will also get a retainer attached to them.
%%
%% {ram_overrides_dump, Bool}
%% {ram_overrides_dump, Tabs}
%%   Only applicable for ram_copies. Bool controls which versions of
%%   the records that should be included in the checkpoint state.
%%   true means that the latest comitted records in ram (i.e. the
%%   records that the application accesses) should be included
%%   in the checkpoint. false means that the records dumped to
%%   dat-files (the records that will be loaded at startup) should
%%   be included in the checkpoint. Tabs is a list of tables.
%%   Default is false.
%%
%% {ignore_new, TidList}
%%   Normally we wait for all pending transactions to complete
%%   before we allow iteration over the checkpoint. But in order
%%   to cope with checkpoint activation inside a transaction that
%%   currently prepares commit (mnesia_init:get_net_work_copy) we
%%   need to have the ability to ignore the enclosing transaction.
%%   We do not wait for the transactions in TidList to end. The
%%   transactions in TidList are regarded as newer than the checkpoint.
