Use StorSimple Snapshot Manager to administer your StorSimple solution
Overview
StorSimple Snapshot Manager is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that simplifies data protection and backup management in a Microsoft Azure StorSimple environment. With StorSimple Snapshot Manager, you can manage Microsoft Azure StorSimple data in the data center and in the cloud as a single integrated storage solution, thus simplifying backup processes and reducing costs.
The StorSimple Snapshot Manager central management console enables you to create consistent, point-in-time backup copies of local and cloud data. For example, you can use the console to:
- Configure, back up, and delete volumes.
- Configure volume groups to ensure that backed up data is application-consistent.
- Manage backup policies so that data is backed up on a predetermined schedule.
- Create independent copies of data, which can be stored in the cloud and used for disaster recovery.
