QNAP Snapshot Agent
QNAP Snapshot Agent enables QTS to take application-consistent snapshots of iSCSI LUNs on VMware
or Microsoft servers. Application-consistent snapshots record the state of running applications, virtual
machines, and data. When QTS takes a LUN snapshot, QNAP Snapshot Agent triggers the following actions:
• Windows: The server flushes data in memory, logs, and pending I/O transactions to the LUN before the
snapshot is created.
• VMware: The server takes a virtual machine snapshot.
