Which of the following is NOT a valid object for UNIX Open Systems SnapVault backups on a UNIX server?

• A. file
• B. qtree
• C. directory
• D. entire client

Answer: (B)

In UNIX Open Systems SnapVault backups, the backup targets are units that the UNIX host can access directly: individual files, directories, or the entire client. A qtree is a NetApp storage construct used to partition a volume and manage exports—not something the UNIX host backs up as a standalone unit. You would back up the actual files or directories within a qtree, or back up the whole client, but you can’t select a qtree itself as a backup object. That’s why a qtree isn’t a valid backup object in this backup scenario.
