Clones and snapshots are point-in-time copies of volumes that can be used to virtually eliminate the application downtime required for system backups as well as facilitate other data center tasks. EVM addresses the need for business continuance by running these backup operations with snapshots and clones as a parallel process to normal applications processing.

EVM is designed for customers who do not want to or cannot disrupt their computing operations with management activities such as backup. With the explosion of data, traditional backup operations cannot be completed in a backup window. EVM virtually eliminates the necessity of a backup window by allowing for non-disruptive backup/recovery operations. Backing up from a clone or snapshot in the background allows 24x7 operations. EVM also provides copies of data for operations such as data mining and warehousing, testing, and work distribution. EVM improves production volume application performance, enhances the use of computing and IT resources, and allows users to perform complex cloning and snapshot tasks through a user-friendly GUI and Script Wizard.
