Data consistency
The filesystem backup does not guarantee application data consistency,
only filesystem consistency. Application data consistency can be achieved
only by using supported application writers, such as Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003 writer.
Backup with the EVA Hardware Provider
There are three replica types available when backing up using the EVA
hardware provider:
• Standard snapshot
•Vsnap
•Snapclone
However, in the GUI, you can select only between snapshot and
snapclone. When you select snapshot replica type, standard snapshot is
created by default. For instant recovery, only snapclone is available. See
“Snapshot Replica” on page 37 for more information.
