The Server supports automatic recovery operations, including the ability to take snapshots of data. Snapshots and auto-recovery operations are defined for each Job separately.
In addition to the Server's capability of keeping the most current version of all replicating files and past versions, including deleted files, the Server's snapshot option allows you to take periodic snapshots of your Job's data that capture the state of the data at a specified point in time. You can manually take a snapshot at any time. For every Job, up to eight snapshots can be taken daily at any Agent location. A snapshot includes the latest copy of all the files for the chosen Job at that instant. Past versions and deleted files are not included in snapshots. There is no impact on the files at the time of the snapshot at Agents; users can access files normally, and you do not need to schedule downtime.
For more information on configuring Snapshots, see Snapshots and Failover.
Failover and auto-recovery mechanisms are offered for CDP Jobs to handle cases when a master (source) Agent disconnects from its Server. Note that the Auto Failover and Alarm options are not used for WAFS Jobs.
