Primary snapshot storage unit

A snapshot operation can use a Primary snapshot storage unit. That is, the storage unit represents a AdvancedDisk storage unit, Media Server Deduplication Pool storage unit or a Snapshot label.

The following figure shows an SLP that contains one primary-only snapshot operation, one Backup from snapshot operation, and one Duplication operation. The Backup form snapshot operation is used to create a backup from the snapshot on the primary-only snapshot operation. After the backup is created, it is duplicated to a Duplication operation.
