secondary volume
(S-VOL)
(HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP specific term) secondary
volumes, or S-VOLs, are XP LDEVs that act as a secondary CA
or BC mirror of another LDEV (a P-VOL). In the case of CA,
S-VOLs can be used as failover devices in a MetroCluster
configuration. The S-VOLs are assigned separate SCSI
addresses, different from the addresses used by the P-VOLs.

session ID An identifier of a backup, restore, object copy, object
consolidation, object verification, or media management session,
consisting of the date when the session ran and a unique
number.
session key This environment variable for the pre-exec and post-exec script
is a Data Protector unique identification of any session, including
preview sessions. The session key is not recorded in the
database, and it is used for specifying options for the omnimnt,
omnistat, and omniabort commands.
shadow copy (Microsoft VSS specific term) A volume that represents a
duplicate of the original volume at a certain point in time. The
data is then backed up from the shadow copy and not from the
original volume. The original volume continues to change as
the backup process continues, but the shadow copy of the
volume remains constant.
See also Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service and replica.
shadow copy
provider
(Microsoft VSS specific term) An entity that performs the work
on creating and representing the volume shadow copies.
Providers own the shadow copy data and expose the shadow
copies. Providers can be software (for example, system
providers) or hardware (local disks, disk arrays).
