In this section, we briefly describe how to navigate in the Copy Services menu.
3.7.1 FlashCopy
IBM FlashCopy is a function that you use to create a point-in-time copy of one of your
IBM Spectrum Virtualize volumes. This function might be helpful when you back up a data or
test applications. These copies can be cascaded one on another, read from, written to, and
even reversed.
FlashCopy snapshots can conserve storage, if needed, by being space-efficient copies
(rather than full copies) that record only items that changed from the originals. Select
FlashCopy from the dynamic menu to open a pane similar to the information that is shown in
Figure 3-68.
