Persistent Storage Manager and Images
The Persistent Storage Manager allows the creation and preservation of persistent images,
"point-in-time" volume snapshots for the server appliance. Each persistent image
(snapshot) is mounted as a volume on the file system to allow read-only or read-write
access by clients. A persistent image can be created immediately through this configuration
system or scheduled as a one time only or regularly repeated event.
Using Persistent Storage Manager
Once created, a persistent image (snapshot) of a volume appears as a directory on the
original volume. Access rights and permissions from the original volume are inherited by
the image. Images are used exactly the same as conventional system volumes. Unlike
conventional volumes, persistent images can record or be restored to the precise content of
the originating volume at the time the snapshot was created.
Persistent Image Scheduling
The Persistent Storage Manager is fully integrated with the Windows scheduler allowing
complete unattended management of persistent image creation on a periodic basis.
Disaster Recovery
If the need arises, any Persistent Image may be instantly restored to the originating
volumes.
Administration
Configuration elements relating to system resource usage and optimization and persistent
image management are controlled through this system.
Detailed help is available for each of the Persistent Storage Manager control panels and
topics.
