Overland Storage Snapshot SnapSAN User Manual page 3

Snapshot is software for creating replication (snapshot image) at high speed and low
cost on a logical disk basis. For snapshot data, only the differential data in the
replication source logical disk is retained in storage. Therefore, you can maintain
snapshot images with less capacity than the replication source logical disk and use the
replication volume at low cost. Snapshot provides basic functions to extend online
operation time and support 24-hour operation for 365 days, such as processing data
efficiently that increases day to day, and performing online tasks and batch or backup
processing in parallel that is performed during the night.This guide assumes that you
are familiar with computer hardware, data storage, and network administration
terminology and tasks. It also assumes you have basic knowledge of Internet SCSI
(iSCSI), Serial-attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA), Storage Area Network
(SAN), and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology.
