Snapshot protection
Hi guys, i'm trying to implement some kind of snapshot protection throughout all of our arrays. I have enabled Fusion. We're currently protecting the data with a 3rd party backup solution. I'm wonder...
Forum Discussion
Adding one detail on top of mreinke's answer above: capacity accounting on snapshots is delta-based at fine (1 MiB) granularity, so an unchanged snapshot costs essentially nothing since you're only consuming the blocks that actually changed since the last one. With a ~1 week retention layered on your existing backup tool, that's a low-risk setup either way. One habit worth keeping regardless of snapshots is watching your overall system space alerts (Everpure recommends a yellow threshold around 75% and red around 95%) as general hygiene, not because anything here is a red flag.
Cheers!

Great recommendation Mr. Nelson - thanks for chiming in with more detail around this.
