Data ONTAP automatically names SnapManager Snapshot copies. The name of each Snapshot copy created during a SnapManager backup operation includes information like the server name, the backup management group, and whether the backup is the most recent backup.
SnapManager Snapshot copy names and SnapInfo directory Snapshot copy names include the name of the server for which the backup was taken.
SnapManager Snapshot copy names and SnapInfo directory Snapshot copy names also include the backup management group to which you assigned the full database backup. SnapManager provides backup management groups for designating various levels of backup retention: Standard, Daily, and Weekly.
- If you assign a full database backup to the Standard backup management group, the Snapshot copy names for the databases and SnapInfo directory do not include a backup management group name.
- If you assign a full database backup to the Daily or Weekly management groups, the Snapshot copy names for the databases and SnapInfo directory include the name of the backup management group.
For database backups, Snapshot copy names begin with the string exchsnap__.
