SnapMirror allows incremental transfers so downtime is minimized; others require source be offline (no data changing) for the whole duration of copy.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:35:43 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Data-Migration/m-p/70413#M4976 aborzenkov 2011-04-22T08:35:43Z
