It allows snapshots, or frozen images, of the file system to be taken at certain points in time, for example, just before initiating a backup. These frozen snapshots can then be accessed, read-only, even after the data in a file has been changed or the file itself has been deleted About Mountain View Data Mountain View Data is a leading provider and developer of storage technology to systems manufacturers, service providers, system integrators and Global 2000 corporations located throughout the United States and the Asia Pacific Region.
