How SnapManager and SnapDrive work together

SnapDrive provides the underlying layer of support for SnapManager by working with the NTFS Windows file system, Windows Volume Manager, and LUNs to help you to manage resources on the storage system in the Windows environment.

Note: Use SnapManager for all backup-related operations. Use SnapDrive only to create and manage the LUNs and storage system volumes that contain your Exchange data.
