Netapp Snapvault
In this tutorial we walk you through how to setup and configure Netapp Snapvault using the 8.1 Simulator. I will be using Snapvault to backup my Primary volume over to my Secondary volume. It will all be done on one controller, however in the video I point out what you will need to be able to set this up between multiple filers.

Very useful video. This helped me setup my first SV relationship between our primary and secondary filer!
