I need some help in VP Snap

Hi,

I want to take a VP SNAP and map the devices to another host for backup purpose and other process.

I made the following test:

I have 2 tdev 0CDD and 0CDE, both are R2 device. And I had created 2 tdev as a target.

I executed the following commands:

symdg create pr_snap_dg -type any

symdg -g pr_snap_dg -sid 104 addall -devs 0CDD:0CDE

symdg -g pr_snap_dg -sid 104 addall -devs 0DB9:0DBA -tgt

symdg show pr_snap_dg

I created the file /tmp/snap.txt with the following data:

0CDD 0DB9

0CDE 0DBA

symclone -sid 04 -f /tmp/snap.txt create -vse -nop

symclone -g pr_snap_dg -tgt activate -consistent

After executed the activate command, I could access the tdevs 0DB9 and 0DBA from the test machine.

I executed the following commands to end the VP Snap session:

symclone -sid 04 -g pr_snap_dg -tgt terminate

The follwing are the question:  Have I need to execute the commands "symclone -sid 04 -f /tmp/snap.txt create -vse -nop" and "symclone -g pr_snap_dg -tgt activate -consistent" every time I have to do the backup?

Thanks in advance.
