NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide

NetWorker Snapshot Management product description

The NetWorker Snapshot Management (NSM) feature works with replication and mirror technologies on supported storage arrays or storage appliances to create and manage snapshot and ProtectPoint copies of production data, with minimal disruption to the production host processes. The NetWorker server catalogs the snapshots, provides snapshot recovery, and clones the snapshots to Data Domain (ProtectPoint), or to conventional storage media, such as disk or tape. The Snapshot Management feature is available as part of the NetWorker extended client software package.

The NetWorker extended client installation provides all the functionality that the NetWorker PowerSnap Module previously handled. The NetWorker Installation Guide provides more details. Migrating Legacy PowerSnap Configurations provides examples of how to migrate legacy PowerSnap configurations to NetWorker Snapshot Management.

Before you plan, configure, and administer the snapshot environment, become familiar with the concepts in this chapter. You should have an advanced working knowledge of the storage array technology that you use with NetWorker Snapshot Management.

The NetWorker E-LAB Navigator provides details on the versions that NetWorker supports, including volume managers, NetWorker modules, and cluster environments.
