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 writer.
Backup with the Enterprise Virtual Array VSS and VDS hardware provider
There are three replica types available when backing up using the Enterprise Virtual
Array (EVA) hardware provider:
• Standard snapshot
• Vsnap
• Snapclone
However, in the Data Protector GUI, you can select only between standard snapshot
(Snapshot (Differential)) and snapclone (Mirror/Clone (Plex)). To create vsnaps, you
must first configure hardware provider to create vsnaps.
For instant recovery, only snapclone (Mirror/Clone (Plex) replica type) is supported.
For more information, see “Snapshot replica” on page 87.
