Thanks Raj.
I will describe myself in more detail.
We are using power6 server for our banking database and Netapp N6060 for storage. We have to take the backup before doing Close of Business after office hour. We are not using any of the storage features for doing backup and take simple backup using gtar in server level which takes 4 hrs. At this time our system is down and we cannot provide any of the service like ATM and Internet Banking at this time.
We came to know that snapshot may be helpful for us as it takes the flash of data in a point of time. If we can take a snapshot and use this in other server or devices for backup purpose then we donot have to down the system.
We donot have flexclone license. But as I come to know that other storage for eg. DS series has flashcopy for the same purpose.
This has been critical issue for us.
Hope for your suggestions.
