Why each option
In clustered ONTAP 8.2, backup vaults (SnapVault) were designed to work primarily with FlexVol volumes as the source and destination for data protection.
While SnapVault could backup data from qtrees, it fundamentally operated at the FlexVol volume level as its primary source and destination, not only on qtrees, which are sub-volume components.
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 did not support SnapVault on all types of volumes; specifically, Infinite Volumes were generally not supported as direct SnapVault sources in this version.
In clustered ONTAP 8.2, SnapVault, which provides backup vault capabilities, was primarily designed to operate on FlexVol volumes. It could back up data from FlexVol volumes to secondary FlexVol volumes acting as vault destinations, making FlexVol volumes the core supported entity for this feature.
Infinite Volumes were a different type of volume, and in clustered ONTAP 8.2, SnapVault was not designed to work only on Infinite Volumes; FlexVol volumes were the primary supported type.
Clustered ONTAP 8.2 did support SnapVault for data protection and backup purposes.
