When you are preparing to back up or clone a resource, you might find it helpful to view a graphical representation of all backups and clones on the primary and secondary storage.
About this task
In the
Topology page, you can see all of the backups and clones that are available for the selected resource or resource group. You can view the details of those backups and clones, and then select them to perform data protection operations.
You can review the following icons in the Manage Copies view to determine whether the backups and clones are available on the primary or secondary storage (Mirror copies or Vault copies).
displays the number of backups and clones that are available on the primary storage.
-
displays the number of backups and clones that are mirrored on the secondary storage using SnapMirror technology.
-
displays the number of backups and clones that are replicated on the secondary storage using SnapVault technology.- The number of backups displayed includes the backups deleted from the secondary storage.
For example, if you created 6 backups using a policy to retain only 4 backups, the number of backups displayed is 6.
- If you have upgraded from SnapCenter 1.1, the clones on the secondary (mirror or vault) are not displayed under Mirror copies or Vault copies in the Topology page.
All of the clones created using SnapCenter 1.1 are displayed under the Local copies in SnapCenter 3.0.
Note: Clones of a backup of a version-flexible mirror on a mirror-vault type volume are displayed in the topology view, but the mirror backup count in the topology view does not include the version-flexible backup.
