The SnapVault backup systems consist of one or more Primary Systems and one Secondary System.
• |
Primary System: The Primary Systems consist of Filers or Open Systems with data to be backed up to a Secondary System. When a Filer is acting as a Primary System, SnapVault backs up primary qtrees to one or more volumes on the SnapVault Secondary System. With an Open System as a Primary, SnapVault can back up directories and entire drives to volume on the Secondary System. |
• |
Secondary System: The Secondary System is a central, disk-based unit that receives and stores backup data from Filers and Open Systems as Snapshots. Any NetApp filer can be configured as a Secondary system. |
Some initial planning should be performed before setting up a SnapVault Backup System.
• |
Hourly: Does the data change often enough throughout the day to make it worthwhile to create a snapshot every hour, every two hours or every four hours? |
• |
Nightly: Do you want to create a snapshot every night or just workday nights? |
• |
Weekly: How many weekly snapshots is it necessary or useful to keep? |
• |
