6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

To enable a directory tree for snapshots, click Add on the Snap Trees panel.
You can create a snapshot directory tree for an entire file system or a directory in that file system.
When entering the directory path, do not specify a directory that is a parent or child of another
snapshot directory tree. For example, if directory /dir1/dir2 is a snapshot directory tree, you
cannot create another snapshot directory tree at /dir1 or /dir1/dir2/dir3.
IMPORTANT: StoreAll reliably supports up to 1,024 snapshots.
The snapshot schedule can include any combination of hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots.
Also specify the number of snapshots to retain on the system. When that number is reached, the
oldest snapshot is deleted.
All weekly and monthly snapshots are taken at the same time of day. The default time is 9 pm. To
change the time, click the time shown on the dialog box, and then select a new time on the Modify
Weekly/Monthly Snapshot Creation Time dialog box.
