Dell EMC PowerVault MD 34XX/38XX Series Storage Arrays Administrator's Guide

MD Storage Manager allows you to schedule regular snapshot image creation to enable file recovery, and scheduled backups. You can create a schedule for an existing snapshot group or consistency group or when you initially create a snapshot group or consistency group.

• You can set up a schedule for a snapshot group to automatically create a snapshot image at a specific time in the future or on a regular basis.
• You can set up a schedule for a consistency group to automatically create a snapshot image of each member virtual disk in the group at a specific time in the future or on a regular basis.

You can create a schedule that runs daily or weekly in which you select specific days of the week (Sunday through Saturday). To make scheduling easier, you can import an existing schedule for a snapshot group or consistency group. In addition, you can temporarily suspend scheduled snapshot image creation by disabling the schedule. When a schedule is disabled, the scheduled snapshot image creations do not occur.
