Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible
Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible on an existing copy of a volume group? Let me rephrase. Say I setup a volume group (VG) of 24 volumes (PRD01) that are for a production database. I want to snapshot that group of 24 volumes and create a copy of it to repurpose as a prod support DB copy (COPY01) and another copy to mount on another server to get backed up (COPY02). When its time to backup the server again can I refresh the data of PRD01 group to COPY02?2KViews0likes18CommentsVeeam v13 Integration and Plugin
Hi Everyone, We're new Pure customers this year and have two Flasharray C models, one for virtual infrastructure and the other will be used solely as a storage repository to back up those virtual machines using Veeam Backup and Replication. Our plan is to move away from the current windows-based Veeam v12 in favor of Veeam v13 hardened Linux appliances. We're in the design phase now but have Veeam v13 working great in separate environment with VMware and HPE Nimble. Our question is around Pure Storage and Veeam v13 integration and Plugin support. Veeam's product team mentions there is native integrations in v12, but that storage vendors should be "adopting USAPI" going forward. Is this something that Pure is working on, or maybe already has completed with Veeam Backup and Replication v13?1.8KViews4likes15CommentsAnnouncing the General Availability of Purity//FA 6.9.2
