ZDB to tape

(ZDB specific term) A form of zero downtime backup where
data in the replica produced is streamed to a backup medium,
typically tape. Instant recovery is not possible from such a
backup, so the replica need not be retained on the disk array
after backup completion. The backed-up data can be restored
using standard Data Protector restore from tape. On split mirror
arrays, split mirror restore can also be used.

backup (ZDB)

A backup approach in which data replication techniques,
provided by a disk array, are used to minimize the impact of
backup operations on an application system. A replica of the
data to be backed up is created first. All subsequent backup
operations are performed on the replicated data rather than the
original data, while the application system can be returned to
normal operation.
