Capacity Manager > Array Capacity & Utilization > NetApp Snapshot Summary

NetApp snapshots use pointers to reference the blocks where the data is stored, thereby using a minimal amount of capacity. A snapshot captures a point-in-time image of the file system data. When the next snapshot is taken, the pointers will reference other blocks, as the file system data blocks have changed in the interval between snapshots. Therefore, the access time provides the time reference for the snapshot block usage. Snapshots provide a read-only source of data for backups to tape.
