SnapOPC+ Outline

SnapOPC+ is a function that, to the server, appears to copy a volume (the copy source) in an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system to a different volume (the copy destination) in the same ETERNUS DX Disk storage system at a
specific point in time. Only a logical copy is performed initially, following which the SnapOPC+ records
changes as the data is updated.
Access to changed areas is then referenced via the SnapOPC+ record, while access to the unchanged areas is
transparently passed back to the original data (in the copy source area).
The expected amount of updates must be considered when deciding the size of the copy destination area.
By its nature, SnapOPC+ is best used for the temporary backup to tape of file server files and other low
modification rate data, as provision against operating failures and software errors.
