Planning And Design - Hitachi AMS2100 User Manual

A snapshot ensures that volumes with bad or missing data can be
restored. With Copy-on-Write, you create copies of your
production data that can be used for backup and other uses.
Creating a copy system that fully supports business continuity is
best done when SnapShot is configured to match your business
needs.
