EMC TimeFinder/Snap creates economical, pointer-based, space-saving snapshot copies of EMC Symmetrix DMX storage volumes. Because TimeFinder/Snap copies only data that has changed, you can significantly reduce storage requirements while improving recovery-point and recovery-time objectives.

You can combine TimeFinder/Snap with TimeFinder/Clone to add the protection and functionality of a full-volume clone. For environments with demanding performance requirements use it with TimeFinder/Mirror, which provides additional protection while enhancing performance by supporting host I/O requests.
