Snapvault does not take advantage of data compression / deduplication though you can run it after it has reached the destination. A volume snapmirror would take advantage of data compression / deduplication savings. </P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:22:43 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Snapmirror-and-Snapvault-which-one-is-faster-and-which-one-requires-more/m-p/30566#M7229 rwelshman 2013-12-05T17:22:43Z
