Persistent Storage Manager Introduction
Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) allows you to create "snapshot" images of volumes on
your Maxtor MaxAttach NAS 6000. These snapshots, called persistent images, preserve
data on selected volumes in case of a system or power failure. Each persistent images is
saved as a volume on the file system to allow clients read-only or read/write access to the
data and volume set. You can create a persistent image immediately through configuration
system of schedule it as a one-time or a recurring event.
Once created, a persistent image of a volume appears as a directory on the original volume
and can be used the same as the original source volume. However, unlike conventional
volumes, persistent images can be restored to the precise content of the original volume at
the time the snapshot was created.
PSM is fully integrated with Microsoft Windows Scheduler, allowing complete unattended
management of persistent image creation and rotation of a periodic basis.
Use the Persistent Storage Manager page under the Disks and Volumes page to control
system resource usage, optimization, and persistent image management.
