use. However background copying processes normally continue

 

after creation.

source (R1) device

(EMC Symmetrix specific term) An EMC Symmetrix device that

 

participates in SRDF operations with a target (R2) device. All

 

writes to this device are mirrored to a target (R2) device in a

 

remote EMC Symmetrix unit. An R1 device must be assigned to

 

an RDF1 group type.

 

See also target (R2) device.

source volume

(ZDB specific term) A storage volume containing data to be

 

replicated.

sparse file

A file that contains data with portions of empty blocks. Examples

 

are: a matrix in which some or much of the data contains zeros,

 

files from image applications, and high-speed databases. If

 

sparse file processing is not enabled during restore, it might be

 

impossible to restore this file.

split mirror

(EMC Symmetrix and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific

 

term) A replica created using split mirror techniques. Such a

 

replica provides an independent, exact duplicate, or clone of

 

the contents of the source volumes.

 

See also replica and split mirror creation.

split mirror backup

(EMC Symmetrix

split mirror backup

split mirror

(EMC Symmetrix and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific

creation

term) A replica creation technique, in which a pre-configured

 

set of target volumes (a mirror) is kept synchronized with a set

 

of source volumes until the time at which a replica of the contents

 

of the source volumes is required. Then, the synchronization is

 

stopped (the mirror is split) and a split mirror replica of the

 

source volumes at the time of the split remains in the target

 

volumes.
