Abstract
In today's digital landscape, ensuring the integrity and recoverability of critical data is paramount. This IBM® Redpaper delves into this essential concept, providing a comprehensive exploration of IBM's Safeguarded Snapshot solution for data protection.
Safeguarded Snapshot (called Safeguarded Copy prior to IBM Storage Virtualize 8.7) works by creating snapshots of your data volumes. These snapshots are then stored in a logically separate location, isolated from the original data. This isolation is key to its security; even if your main system is compromised, the attackers cannot get to the backups.
This book serves as a valuable resource for IT professionals seeking to safeguard their organization's information against various threats, including accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, and system malfunctions.
The target audience of this book is IT managers and directors, storage administrators, system administrators, storage solution architects and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) professionals
