A backup is created in the same way as with a local Snapshot copy.
To create a backup with replication, select the policy that includes the backup replication and click Backup.
Within the SnapCenter job log, you can see the Secondary Update step, which initiates a SnapVault update operation. Replication changed blocks from the source volume to the target volume.
On the FSx for ONTAP file system, a Snapshot on the source volume is created using the SnapMirror label, snapcenter, as configured in the SnapCenter policy.

At the target volume, a Snapshot copy with the same name is created.

The new Snapshot backup is also listed in the HANA backup catalog.
In SnapCenter, you can list the replicated backups by clicking Vault Copies in the topology view.
