What does the SnapProtect "Primary (Classic) copy" for the subclient represent?

  • A The original data
  • B A snapshot backup of the data
  • C A vault backup of the data
  • D A mirror backup of the data
  • E A tape backup of the data
Explanation

The Primary (Classic) copy in a SnapProtect/IntelliSnap storage policy is the non-snapshot representation of a subclient's data — it corresponds to the subclient's actual source data rather than to the array-based snapshot pointer stored in the Primary Snap copy, and it is distinct from the SnapVault-based vault copy, the SnapMirror-based mirror copy, and a tape copy, which are separate secondary copy types used for replication and long-term retention rather than for representing the primary data itself.
