QUESTION 16 OF 25

What is meant by the term "snapshots" as it relates to data migration?

"Snapshots are a copy of the master data table which are stored remotely. They are only as current as when they were recorded and are only updated when a subsequent snapshot is made. Snapshots are typically used as a backup to the master table or to provide remote users with faster access to the data."

The interviewer is continuing to ask technical questions about various terms and aspects of a data migration system. As mentioned earlier, the majority of this interview will involve either operational or technical questions. Preparing for the interview should include reviewing a glossary of terms used in the data migration practice.

"Snapshots are copies of read-only data which is stored in a master table. The primary use of a snapshot is to maintain a copy of the master table at a remote site so that it can either be accessed quickly or replicated if needed."
