Snapshots
A
snapshot
is a consistent, stable, point-in-time image of the cluster storage space that can be
backed up independent of activity on the cluster storage. Snapshots can also satisfy short-
term backup situations such as recovering a file deleted in error without resorting to tape.
Perhaps more importantly, snapshots can be incorporated as a central component of your
backup strategy to ensure that all data in every backup operation is internally consistent and
that no data is overlooked or skipped.
NOTE: To preserve your cluster configuration and protect your data from loss or corruption, it is
critical to schedule backups and snapshots.
