To perform a backup with SnapOPC+, two types of backup volumes (generation data management area and
expansion area where copy data is saved) must be prepared in addition to one for operation. For details about
creation of backup volume, refer to "Generation Management Volume (SDV) Creation" (page 117) and "Copy
Data Destination Volume (SDPV) Creation" (page 118).
