Why you manually update a qtree on the secondary storage system

You can use the snapvault update command to manually update the SnapVault qtree on the secondary storage system from a Snapshot copy on the primary storage system.

You might want to update at an unscheduled time to protect the primary storage system data if one of the following conditions exists:
  • A disk failed on the primary storage system and you want extra protection for the data.
  • The nightly backup failed due to a network problem.
  • The primary storage system hardware is going to be reconfigured.
  • You want to transfer a Snapshot copy of a quiesced database.
Note: The descriptions and procedures in this section pertain to SnapVault backup of storage systems running Data ONTAP only. For SnapVault backup of Opens System drives and directories, see the Open Systems SnapVault documentation.
