Snapshot (an image or pointer-based copy of volumes) is the most fundamental tool in the data protection toolbox. It is the tool most frequently employed to backup data at specific Points In Time (PIT). Snapshots allow an IT manager to protect data with minimal impact to production environments, enabling a variety of IT development and application testing functions in real time. Snapshots are increasingly being used by backup ISVs to offload backup processing overhead from application servers. Indeed, according to Gartner, the primary use of snapshots is to optimize backup and protect data stored on the disk array without impacting production applications. This white paper reviews the ULTAMUS RAID snapshot feature. ULTAMUS RAID features a basic capability to take up to 4 snapshots at no additional cost.
