What indicates that a SnapMirror baseline transfer has completed successfully?

• A. Transfer started.
• B. Baseline transfer completed.
• C. Baseline transfer is optional.
• D. Transfer is canceled.

Answer: (B)

When you set up a SnapMirror relationship, the initial full copy is called the baseline transfer. The moment this baseline transfer finishes is the signal that the destination now has a consistent starting point that mirrors the source, and normal incremental updates can begin. This completion confirms the baseline is in place and the relationship can move into its regular, ongoing synchronization mode. If the transfer has merely started, that doesn’t indicate completion. Saying the baseline transfer is optional isn’t accurate, because you need that initial baseline to establish the mirror. If the transfer is canceled, that shows a termination, not a completed baseline.
