SnapVault is primarily intended for disk-to-disk backup. Like async SnapMirror, SnapVault leverages NetApp Snapshot technology to back up and restore systems at the block level. Similarly, SnapVault identifies and copies only the changed blocks on a system to secondary storage where as SnapMirror is nothing but a mirror copy of the original volume in remote location/DR Facility. SnapMirror can occur either at volume level or at a Qtree level
