FlashCopy function (point-in-time copy)
FlashCopy creates a copy of a source volume on the target volume. This copy is
called a point-in-time copy.
When you initiate a FlashCopy operation, a FlashCopy relationship is created
between a source volume and target volume. A FlashCopy relationship is a
"mapping" of the FlashCopy source volume and a FlashCopy target volume. This
mapping allows a point-in-time copy of that source volume to be copied to the
associated target volume. The FlashCopy relationship exists between this volume
pair from the time that you initiate a FlashCopy operation until the storage unit
copies all data from the source volume to the target volume or you delete the
FlashCopy relationship, if it is a persistent FlashCopy.
Safeguarded Copy
The Safeguarded Copy feature, available with the Copy Services license, creates
backups of data that you can restore to the source volume or a different volume.
The Safeguarded Copy feature creates safeguarded backups that are not accessible
by the host system and protects these backups from corruption that can occur in
the production environment. You can define a Safeguarded Copy schedule to create
multiple backups on a regular basis, such as hourly or daily. You can also restore a
