Snapshot Manager for Data Center operations | Description |
|---|---|
Discover assets | NetBackup discovers all the volumes and their snapshots. Volumes are primary assets; each contains the associated snapshots and asset IDs. |
Create snapshot | To create a snapshot (snapOPCPlus), NetBackup initiates a POST API call on the volume. The snapshot volume is created on the same appliance as the source volume. A typical snapshot created by NetBackup has the following naming convention: NB<unique_21digit_number> |
Delete snapshot | Before deleting a snapshot, Snapshot Manager for Data Center performs the following operations:
NetBackup calls the REST API with the required snapshot details to delete a snapshot. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted successfully on the array. |
Restore snapshot | NetBackup uses the volume snapshot restore API to restore volume snapshots to the point-in-time image on the volume. |
Export snapshot | When a snapshot export operation is initiated, NetBackup attaches the snapshot volume to the host. These are the steps for snapshot export:
|
Deport snapshot | During snapshot export, NetBackup deletes the copy session of the source volume, host connection of snapshot volume, and exported snapshot volume. It is a revert of the export snapshot operation. |
