Using Network Appliance snapshot backups

The Network Appliance snapshot backup facility creates a read-only copy of a volume on another volume on the Filer. HCL supports use of this facility to make backups of all HCL VersionVault data, including VOB data.

As with any VOB backup strategy, you must lock the VOB before backing it up. Because the snapshot backup copy can be made quickly, lock time required for the backup is minimal.
