The snapshot is built at the array level. The Volume column currently shows the
amount of space left on the array on which the volume is located. To calculate the
reserve size, refer to the applicable volume size listed on the Volume page.
Click Add to save the snapshot. Clicking Add saves the first snapshot. Each
subsequent snapshot occurs based on the defined schedule.
The snapshot details appear in the Currently Active Snapshots area at the top of
the page.
There might be times when you want to take a snapshot of a volume that falls
outside of the regularly scheduled snapshot times. When you take a snapshot of a
volume using the resnap function, the new snapshot overwrites the previously
existing one for the specified interval. For example, if you have a snapshot set up to
occur hourly and then click Resnap, a new snapshot is built that overwrites the
existing hourly snapshot.
This feature is only available on NSS6000 series NAS units.
To take a manual snapshot:
From the Manager Menu, click Storage Snapshots.
