Set Up SnapLock Integration

To integrate with a NetApp SnapLock volume

1. You must specify the location of the SnapLock volume when you install the CMS.

   But unlike a conventional CMS installation, in the Data Location wizard screen, you specify a UNC path or a mapped drive to the target SnapLock volume.

2. After installing the CMS, CA Data Protection automatically writes blob (Binary Large Object) files to the SnapLock storage location that you specified in step 1.

   These blobs contain the email content and any attachments, or the Web page plus any uploaded files, stored in CA Data Protection format.

3. You now need to configure the CMS to write the minimum retention period (also known as the ‘expiry date’) for each event to the SnapLock volume. To do this, you edit the CMS machine policy.
