Remote copy
functionality
In this manual, the volume copy functionality that replicates a volume to a remote
site, such as Continuous Access Software or Continuous Access Journal, is
generically called volume copy between storage systems (or remote copy
functionality). By backing up data to a remote site, you can restore the data from
the remote site if a problem occurs in a local site storage system. This improves
data stability. For example, even if the data at a local site is damaged due to a
disaster, you can use the data in a remote site to recover it in a short period of
time.
storage group A method provided by Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 for

reporting. The system log is output to the following files:
Windows Event Log file

transaction log A log containing a history of the changes made to a database. The data in this

Volume dynamic
recognition
The volume dynamic recognition functionality enables or disables concealment
of the physical volumes in the storage system connected to a server from the

server, and prevents operational mistakes.
