Applications support snapshot copies, which can be created or restored at any time. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.
The ONTAP applications are arranged based on type, including: templates, applications, components, and Snapshot copies. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.6.
A consistency group is a set of volumes that are grouped together when performing certain operations such as a snapshot. This feature extends the same crash consistency and data integrity implicit with single-volume operations across a set of volumes. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.10 and updated with 9.12. An endpoint to retrieve metric performance and capacity data was added with ONTAP 9.13.
You can use these endpoints to copy, create, inventory, and restore SnapShots for a consistency group. This resource type was introduced with ONTAP 9.10.
