Which ONTAP technology is the foundation for SnapMirror?

Explanation:
SnapMirror is built on the point-in-time images created by ONTAP’s Snapshot feature. Snapshots provide fast, space-efficient, read-only copies of a volume at a specific moment. SnapMirror uses these snapshot copies as the basis for replication: it captures the changes between snapshots on the source and transfers only those changes to the destination, keeping the two systems aligned and enabling efficient, asynchronous DR replication. While other features like SnapVault or SnapRestore relate to data protection and recovery, the underlying technology that SnapMirror relies on is the Snapshot mechanism.
