Taking snapshots of the target
1. Make sure you have a valid domain and servers specified, click Configure from
the main Application Manager page, and then select the Snapshot tab.
Note: Snapshots are not available in cluster environments.
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. Storage Mirroring Recover can take 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
application 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.
