Application Scenarios
HyperSnap for file systems is applicable to scenarios such as data protection and emulation testing (for example, data analysis and archiving).
Data Protection
HyperSnap can create multiple snapshots for a source file system at different points in time and preserve multiple recovery points for the file system. If data in a source file system is lost due to accidental deletion, corruption, or virus attacks, a snapshot created before the loss can be used to recover the data, ensuring data security and reliability. Figure 1-4 shows a schematic diagram of HyperSnap used for data protection.
Emulation Testing
After snapshots are created for a file system at different points in time and shared to clients, the clients can access these snapshots to read the source file system's data at these time points, facilitating testing, data analysis, and archiving. In this way, data of the production system is protected while backup data is fully utilized. Figure 1-5 shows a schematic diagram of HyperSnap used for emulation testing.
