SnapCenter Software 5 Manuals ( CA08871-403 )

The SnapCenter interface provides standardization and consistency across plug-ins and environments. The SnapCenter interface enables you to complete consistent backup, restore, recovery, and clone operations across plug-ins, use centralized reporting, use at-a-glance dashboard views, set up role-based access control (RBAC), and monitor jobs across all plug-ins.

You can schedule backup operations, configure policy-based backup retention, and perform restore operations. You can also proactively monitor your environment by configuring SnapCenter to send email alerts.

SnapCenter uses Snapshot copy technology with the SnapCenter Custom Plug-ins to back up resources. Snapshot copies consume minimal storage space.

You can also set the credentials so that the authorized SnapCenter users have application-level permissions.

A FlexClone license is required on the storage system where you want to create the clone.

In a single operation, Snapshot copies are consolidated when resources in a single host share the same volume.
