In any storage system, the one feature that is of paramount importance to the user is data protection. Perhaps the most common method of data protection is through data backups, but unfortunately, this method is often slow, unreliable and performed outside of normal working hours.

In response to the drawbacks involved with simple reliance on tape or drive backups, data snapshots are rapidly being adopted as an industry-wide standard for protecting data with increasingly fine granularity.

This white paper outlines snapshot technologies and explains the ways in which snapshots can be incorporated into a storage system to provide benefits, such as:

• Enhanced data protection and security
• Increased system performance
• Greater flexibility
• And more
