  • 1.  Volume group thick clone

    Posted 9 days ago

    Hi everyone, I have a question about Volume group thick clones
    I would like to backup by attaching a clone volumes to the backup server.
    Is it possible to repeatedly create a volume group thick clone with the same target volumes every day like the previous Flashcopy backup method?

    Hi,

    1. Why do you need thick clones if you only read and backup? you can use thin clones for that.
    2. Yes you can use the new "refreshfromsnapshot" command to do that. check the syntax of the refreshfromsnapshot command

    Thank you so much
    I have additional questions.
    At volume group thick clones, the thick clones target volumes become independent volumes and At volume group thin clones does the relationship between volume group snapshots remain?
    Like as old flashcopy clone, old flashcopy snapshot
