After you have completed the initial baseline backup of qtrees on the primary storage systems
to qtrees on the SnapVault secondary storage system, you must use the snapvault
snap sched command to schedule a set of Snapshot copies on the SnapVault primary storage system. You can also specify the volume to create Snapshot copies
for, the Snapshot copy
basename, how many versions of the Snapshot copies to retain, and the days and hours to create this set of Snapshot copies.
You must use the
snapvault snap sched command to schedule
the following tasks:
- Regular SnapVault Snapshot copy times of volumes on the primary storage system to capture new and changed data in the qtrees that have a SnapVault relationship configured through the snapvault start command
- Regular transport of new or modified data in the primary qtrees to their associated secondary qtrees on the SnapVault secondary storage system
- Regular Snapshot copies of the volume containing the updated secondary qtrees for archiving by SnapVault
Note: The descriptions and procedures in this section pertain to
SnapVault backup of
storage systems
running Data ONTAP only. For descriptions and procedures pertaining to
SnapVault backup of Open Systems drives and directories, see the Open Systems SnapVault documentation.
