This chapter discusses the following topics about copying volumes:
This chapter does not discuss SnapMirror, which replicates data in one volume on another volume (the replica) and periodically updates the replica to reflect incremental changes on the source filer. For more information about SnapMirror and about the differences between copying a volume and replicating a volume, refer to Chapter 19, "Data Replication Using SnapMirror."
