StoneFusion Snapshot
StoneFly StoneFly~Snapshot is designed for IT professionals who want an efficient and easy-to-use method of recovering critical data quickly and is ideal for meeting recovery point objectives (RPO). StoneFly~Snapshots are virtual, temporary, and perishable point-in-time images of an active live volume. StoneFly~Snapshot volumes appear to the host as if they were regular volumes and can even be written to while preserving the original. StoneFly~Snapshots can be created nearly instantaneously requiring less time to quiesce applications and far less server overhead for backups. A StoneFly~Snapshot contains an intelligent replica of the volume at the exact point in time that the StoneFly~Snapshot was taken yet requires significantly less disk space than a full copy. The primary benefits of StoneFly~Snapshots are their smaller storage requirements and their low system overhead. StoneFly~Snapshots persist across reboots and can be mounted and accessed just like any other volume.
