Taking snapshots of the target
1. Make sure you have a valid source and target specified, click Configure
protection from the main Full-Server Failover Manager page, and then select the
Protection tab.
2. A snapshot is an image of data taken at a single point in time. Snapshots allow you
to view files and folders as they existed at points of time in the past, so you can, for
example, recover from cases where corrupted source data was replicated to the
target. By default, Storage Mirroring Recover takes periodic snapshots of the data
on the target. When failover is triggered, you can use the live target data at the time
of failover or you can failover to a snapshot of the target data. Specify how you
want to handle snapshots.
l
Enable periodic snapshots—Enable snapshots if you want to be able to
use them at failover time. If snapshots are disabled, the live data on the target
at failover time will be used.
l
Snapshot Interval—By default, snapshots of the target data are taken every
60 minutes. If desired, increase or decrease the interval between snapshots.
l
Start now—If you want to start taking snapshots immediately after the full-
server connection is established, select Start now.
l
Start at—If you want to start taking snapshots at a specific data and time,
select Start at and specify the date and time parameters.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
