About NetVault Backup Plug-in for SnapVault Manager
|
• |
Open System: This term refers to any system that is not a NetApp Filer (for example, a Windows, Linux, or UNIX system). These systems can be included in a backup or restore operation in an NDMP environment by using SnapVault. |
|
• |
SnapVault Primary (SV Primary): This term refers to a SnapVault client with data to be backed up (or restored to). An SV Primary can be either a NetApp filer running Data ONTAP or an Open System with the Open System SnapVault (OSSV) Software installed. |
|
• |
SnapVault Secondary (SV Secondary): This term is the SnapVault Server. This machine serves as storage for snapshots taken from various SV Primaries. |
|
• |
Service: Also referred to as a SnapVault Snapshot Schedule, this service is created on the SV Secondary. A Service opens up the qtrees of a specified volume to serve as a destination for SV Primary backup data. It sets up a schedule which is used to perform snapshots of the data at the specified intervals, and saves these snapshots to the allocated space. |
|
• |
Relationship: Established on a SnapVault Primary after a Service has been created on the SV Secondary. A Relationship in SnapVault describes a link established between the two that allows for the transfer of backup data from the SV Primary to the SV Secondary. |
|
• |
Initial Synchronization: This term refers to the initial transfer of selected data from an SV Primary to an SV Secondary; it is a Full Backup. |
|
• |
Update: This term refers to secondary and further transfers of the same selected data as sent with an Initial Synchronization from an SV Primary to an SV Secondary. In this instance only data that has changed is included (that is, an Incremental Backup). |
