Creating a Snapshot

A snapshot can be created to generate a copy of the source dtree at the current point in time. A snapshot is available immediately after it is created. Read operations on the snapshot does not affect the data in the source dtree.

Prerequisites

A namespace and a dtree have been created.

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Resources > Dtree.
  2. Select the desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
  3. Select an owning namespace and then a desired dtree, and click Protection > Create Snapshot.

    The Create Snapshot page is displayed.

    You can also click More on the right of a desired dtree and select Create Snapshot.

  4. On the Dtree tab page, select an owning namespace and then desired dtrees for which you want to create a snapshot.
  5. Set the snapshot name.

    • The name must be unique.
    • The name contains 1 to 255 characters.
    • The name can contain only letters, digits, and underscores (_), and must start with a letter.

  6. Click OK.
