SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
Many disk technologies, both old and new, are being used to augment tried and true backup methodologies to deliver better information and application restoration performance. These technologies work in parallel to the existing backup paradigm, either synergistically or completely orthogonally. This session will discuss many of these technologies in detail, including snapshots, full-copy snapshots (mirror-splits), differential snapshots, and small aperture snapshots (SAS), as well as continuous data protection (CDP) in its various forms. Detail about how these technologies operate will be provided as well as best practices recommendations for deployment in today's heterogeneous data centers.
Learning Objectives
Understand legacy and contemporary storage technologies that provide advanced data protection
Compare and contrast advanced data protection alternatives.
Gain insights into emerging DP technologies.
