Backup (Advanced Copy)
The Advanced Copy function (high-speed copying function) enables data backup (data replication) at any point
without stopping the operations of the
ETERNUS AF.
For an ETERNUS AF backup operation, data can be replicated without placing a load on the business server. The
replication process for large amounts of data can be performed by controlling the timing and business access so
that data protection can be considered separate from operation processes.
An example of an Advanced Copy operation using ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager is shown below.

There are two types of Advanced Copy: a local copy that is performed within a single ETERNUS AF and a remote
copy that is performed between multiple
ETERNUS AF storage systems.
Local copy functions include One Point Copy (OPC), QuickOPC, SnapOPC, SnapOPC+, and Equivalent Copy (EC),
and remote copy functions include Remote Equivalent Copy (REC).
The following table shows ETERNUS related software for controlling the Advanced Copy function.
