Creating a Snapshot

A snapshot can be created to generate a copy of the source namespace at the current point in time. A snapshot is available immediately after it is generated, and read operations performed on the snapshot does not affect the data in the source namespace.

Prerequisites

A namespace has been created.

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Resources > Namespace.
  2. Select the desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
  3. Select one or more desired namespaces and click Create Snapshot.

    The Create Snapshot page is displayed.

  4. 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.

  5. Click OK.
