Create a snapshot of a volume

About this task

If you want to create a single snapshot of a volume (and not as a part of an assigned protection policy), use the Create Snapshot option.
NOTE:You can use the same procedure to create a snapshot of a volume group.

Steps

  1. To open the Volumes window, select Storage > Volumes.
  2. Click the check box next to the relevant volume to select it and then select Protect > Create Snapshot.
  3. In the Create Snapshot of Volume slide-out panel, enter a unique name for the snapshot, and set the Local Retention Policy.
    NOTE:The retention period is set to one week by default. You can set a different retention period or select the No Automatic Deletion for indefinite retention.
  4. If you want to create a secure snapshot, set a retention period, and select the Secure Snapshot option.
  5. Click Create Snapshot.
