Data Domain: How to List Snapshots

For Data Domain Systems using DD OS 5.0.x.x and later:

• Identify which mtree to examine using the mtree list command. (Note: backup is a default mtree for version 5.0.)

  # mtree list
  
  Name                Pre-Comp (GiB)   Status
  -----------------   --------------   ------
  /data/col1/backup             95.0   RW
  /data/col1/testmtree          2.0   RW
  -----------------   --------------   ------
  
   D   : Deleted
   RO  : Read Only
   RW  : Read Write
   RD  : Replication Destination
   RLE : Retention-Lock Enabled
   RLD : Retention-Lock Disabled

• List snapshots in a specific mtree using the snapshot list mtree <mtree name> command:

  # snapshot list mtree /data/col1/testmtree
  
  Snapshot Information for MTree: /data/col1/testmtree
  ----------------------------------------------

  Snapshot Summary
  -------------------
  Total:            1

• List all snapshots for all mtrees

  # snapshot list mtree *
