Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a snapshot and a full backup?
A snapshot captures the state of a disk at a specific point in time. It is incremental, meaning it only stores the blocks that have changed since the previous snapshot. A full backup typically copies all data, which can be more resource-intensive.
How long are snapshots retained?
Snapshot retention policies are configurable and depend on your specific business and compliance requirements. You can set retention periods to meet your data governance needs.
Can I restore individual files from a snapshot?
Yes, you can mount a snapshot as a disk and then copy individual files or folders from it. This provides granular recovery options beyond restoring an entire disk.
