About NetBackup snapshot methods
The instant snapshot feature of VxVM 4.0 is supported by NetBackup's VxVM, FlashSnap, and VVR methods. Note the following:
FlashSnap supports VxVM full-sized instant snapshots, but not space-optimized snapshot. Additionally, FlashSnap supports VxVM volumes in a shared disk group.
For alternate client backup, only the VVR method supports space-optimized snapshots.
Apart from configuring the VxVM volumes and selecting VxVM, FlashSnap, or VVR as the NetBackup snapshot method, no special parameters in NetBackup are required.
