is replicated. However, if a volume manager is used on UNIX,

 

the whole volume or disk group containing a backup object

 

(logical volume) is replicated. If partitions are used on Windows,

 

the whole physical volume containing the selected partition is

 

replicated.

mirror creation.

replica set

(ZDB specific term) A group of replicas, all created using the

 

same backup specification.

 

See also replica and replica set rotation.

replica set rotation

(ZDB specific term) The use of a replica set for regular backup

 

production: Each time the same backup specification requiring

 

the use of a replica set is run, a new replica is created and

 

added to the set, until the maximum number for the set is

 

reached. After that, the oldest replica in the set is replaced,

 

maintaining the maximum number of replicas in the set.

 

See also replica and replica set.

restore chain

All backups that are necessary for a restore of a backup object

 

to a certain point in time. A restore chain consists of a full

 

backup of the object and any number of related incremental

 

backups.

restore session

A process that copies data from backup media to a client.

resync mode

(HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP VSS provider specific term)

 

One of two XP VSS hardware provider operation modes. When

 

the XP provider is in the resync mode, the source volume (P-VOL)

 

and its replica (S-VOL) are in the suspended mirror relationship

 

after a backup. The maximum number of replicas (S-VOLs per

 

a P-VOL) rotated is three provided that MU range is 0-2 or 0,

 

1, 2. Restore from a backup in such a configuration is possible

 

only by re-synchronization of an S-VOL with its P-VOL.

 

See also VSS compliant mode, source volume, primary volume

 

(P-VOL),replica, secondary volume (S-VOL),MU number, and

 

replica set rotation.

RMAN (Oracle

See Recovery Manager.

specific term)

 

RSM

The Data Protector Restore Session Manager controls the restore

 

session. This process always runs on the Cell Manager system.
