Primary to secondary to SnapMirror variation

A variation to the basic SnapVault deployment protects Snapshot copies stored on SnapVault secondary storage against problems with the secondary storage system itself.

The data backed up to SnapVault secondary storage is mirrored to a unit configured as a SnapMirror partner, or destination. If the secondary storage system fails, the data mirrored to the SnapMirror destination can be converted to a secondary storage system and used to continue the SnapVault backup operation with minimum disruption.
