I was at a Compaq presentation early last year concerning the Digital Storageworks products. One of the products discussed was the snapshot software. I wasn't particularly interested so memory is vague but I seem to recall that the technology/patents were purchased in and it was basically a disk storage solution with full images dumped to disk every so often (administrator defined) with incremental changes noted, providing a very fast way of retrieving data from any point in time without resorting to disk.

I haven't read the white paper but it is somewhere about here on the web site:

If you come across with an explanation of SUNW's "snapshot", please pass it on.

It's called "slap shot". It's McNealy's pet project. It
uses a carbon fiber shaft and blade to propel whole
disks into "net" storage. It works great when the goalie
isn't in the net.
