– Consistent volume snapshots
can be made of
● file systems
● supported apps
● any application through a
customization interface
– Snapshot are incremental
and can be stored on thin
provisioned volumes
– Local snapshots have the
added benefit of being
deduplicated.
– Although FastBack snapshots
are software-based and do
not use Storwize V7000

– In the event of a failure,
there are two recovery
options.
● For individual file
recovery, FastBack Mount
allows a snapshot to be
directly mounted read-only
by a host server to copy
individual files back to the
Primary volume.
