snapshot types is available, with
different characteristics, depending on

contents of the source volumes, or
independent exact duplicates (clones),
depending on the snapshot type and the
time since creation.

snapshot creation (HP StorageWorks
EVA specific term)
A replica creation technique, in which
copies of source volumes are created
using storage virtualization techniques.
The replicas are considered to be created
at one particular point in time, without
pre-configuration, and are immediately
available for use. However background
copying processes normally continue
after creation.
See also snapshot.
source volume (ZDB specific term)
A storage volume containing data to be
replicated.
split mirror (HP StorageWorks Disk
Array XP specific term)
