Setting up XBM to enable snapshot processing

This section provides brief overviews of the tasks that you perform to enable XBM for each type of snapshot processing.

For a detailed explanation about each task, see the sections for the snapshot types that you are specifying.

Note

While you must configure and enable XBM to be able to process the different types of snapshots, the snapshot-enabled utility actually launches the snapshot job and determines the data source upon which snapshot processing is performed.

Before you set up XBM to enable snapshot processing, you need to complete the tasks described in the following table:
