[gpfsug-discuss] Snapshots for backups

[Fosburgh,Jonathan]

That is the use case for snapshots, taken at the remote site.  Recovery from accidental deletion.

    The way I see it is that snapshots are not backup. They are handy for
    quick recovery from file deletion mistakes. They are utterly useless
    when your disaster recovery is needed because for example all your NSD
    descriptors have been overwritten (not my mistake I hasten to add). AT
    that point your snapshots are for jack.
