LUN clones will typically be replicated as full LUNs on the secondary storage system, because by default, non-optimized transfers will be used.
Consider the following points before transferring the data in non-optimized mode:
The backing Snapshot copy must be present on the primary storage system, and it is irrelevant on the secondary storage system.
There will be no space savings. The entire LUN clone, and all of the data from the backing LUN, will be replicated to the secondary storage system.
There cannot be LUN clones on the destination side of a transfer. This includes restore transfers. If there are LUN clones on the destination side, the transfer will fail. You must destroy the LUN clones, and rerun the transfer.
Note: After a restore operation, all LUN clones will be converted into LUNs.
