2) Remote Copy – This software feature helps in replicating data between SANs at remote and primary locations. This helps not only in data security and back-up, but also data recovery. Disaster-recovery and centralized back-up is based per-volume.

3) Snapshots – Snapshot allows instant squeezing of data for MS VSS (Visual Source Safe) applications. This storage in done in the form of folders or files and hence allows easier recovery.
