Why each option
In clustered ONTAP 8.2, SnapVault backup vaults are supported exclusively on FlexVol volumes, not on Infinite volumes or standalone qtrees.
Qtrees are not the standalone entity for a vault relationship; the SnapVault relationship is defined at the FlexVol volume level, not the qtree level alone.
Backup vaults do not work on all volumes - Infinite volumes are explicitly excluded from SnapVault support in clustered ONTAP 8.2.
SnapVault in clustered ONTAP 8.2 establishes vault relationships at the FlexVol volume level, which is the only supported volume type for this feature in that release. Infinite volumes use a separate data protection mechanism, and while qtrees can be the source granularity within a SnapVault relationship, they are not standalone vault endpoints - the relationship itself is defined on FlexVol volumes.
Infinite volumes are not supported for SnapVault backup vault relationships in clustered ONTAP 8.2.
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 does support SnapVault; this answer is factually incorrect.
