3 Managing data protection
The All-in-One Storage Manager provides data protection through the use of snapshots, backups,
and replication. You can configure these data protection methods through the Data Protection page
of ASM's application wizards, or you can configure and modify data protection settings after running
the wizards by accessing the Snapshots, Backup and Replication actions in the ASM Actions pane.
For more information on available data protection methods, see the following:
• “Scheduling and running snapshots” on page 33
• “Managing snapshots” on page 34
• “Scheduling backups” on page 36
• “Managing backups” on page 37
• “Running replication” on page 40
NOTE:
Backups, snapshots, and replication are disabled in ASM for an Exchange storage group or a SQL Server
database if one or more of the components of the Exchange storage group or SQL Server database are
not hosted. To host components for a storage group or database, start the Host an Exchange Storage
Group Wizard or Host a SQL Server Database Wizard as appropriate, select the storage group or database,
and then select the components on the Select Storage Group Components page that are not currently
hosted.
Scheduling and running snapshots
From the Snapshots property tab, you can configure schedules for snapshots.
If replication is enabled and the replication target is also running ASM, snapshots are replicated to
the target. Snapshots cannot be scheduled on a target HP Storage Server running ASM; the snapshot
schedule must be set on the system that is hosting the component data.
IMPORTANT:
Snapshots are not supported on user-defined iSCSI LUN applications.
1. Select an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, user-defined application, or shared
folder in the content pane.
2. In the Actions pane, click Snapshots and then click Configure Snapshot Schedule. The Snapshots
property tab displays.
3. Click Add to add a snapshot to the snapshot schedule.
4. Select a snapshot frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) for snapshots.
5. Enter a start date for snapshots.
