| Network Appliance's SnapMirror Software provides many benefits to system administrators, including reduced backup and recovery windows, instant access to mission-critical data, and file system replication at a local or remote site.Working in conjunction with the SnapMirror technology, NetVault®: Backup's SnapMirror to Tape plugin extends these benefits by enabling full volumes on filers to be mirrored and backed up to tape. Tape mirror copies can be used as an alternative transport mechanism and provide long term, off-site archival storage for mirrored volumes. |
|
| SnapMirror to Tape's benefits are further extended when combined with NetApp's Snapshot Technology. Snapshots provide a backup function that allow user and application data stored on a filer to be quickly and efficiently backed up with virtually no service disruption. Snapshots are stored on volumes residing on the same filer as the data being protected and provide a fast method of data recovery under normal circumstances. SnapMirror to Tape can be used to backup filer volumes containing snapshots on a periodic basis for disaster recovery purposes. In a disaster scenario where the entire filer is lost, snapshots can be recovered quickly and efficiently from the tape to ensure minimal interruption to operations. |
