Taking a Snapshot
After a reserved space is set, you can proceed to take snapshots. To create a
snapshot, follow these steps:
1. Go to "Storage Manager" > "STORAGE" > "Snapshot".
2. Switch between "Volume" or "LUN" depending on your needs, select a volume/LUN,
and click "Take a Snapshot".
3. Specify the snapshot name, duration to retain the snapshot and snapshot type (the
snapshot type is only available for LUN snapshots).
4. Click "OK".
Managing Snapshots with Snapshot Manager
The Snapshot Manager allows you to take, revert, delete, and clone a snapshot, set up
snapshot schedules, or restore snapshot files.
To launch Snapshot Manager, select a volume or LUN in "Snapshot" and click "Snapshot
Manager" (or click the camera icon of a volume or LUN.)
In Snapshot Manager, you can perform the following actions (please switch to "Show
snapshot content" next to the search bar for the following actions):
Restore files: Click a desired snapshot and select the folders or files that you want
to restore. Right click and select "restore file" to replace the existing folder/file with
the one in the snapshot or "restore file to" to restore your data to a different
location. Or choose "Download" to download the selection to your computer.
Revert a snapshot: Select a snapshot and click "Revert snapshot", and the entire
snapshot will be restored. Before reverting, please be aware that the entire volume
will be reverted to the selected snapshot as it was when the snapshot was taken.
Delete: Select a snapshot and click "Delete" to delete that snapshot.
Clone a snapshot: This action allows you to clone a snapshot into a new volume or
LUN. To clone a snapshot, first select a snapshot, click "Clone", enter an alias for
the new volume, and select the folders to share after cloning. If the snapshot
cloned is a LUN snapshot, you can map it to an iSCSI target.
Set up snapshot schedules: Click "Schedule", select "Enable schedule", specify the
time, frequency, and retention period. The system will then automatically take
snapshots of the chosen volume based on this schedule. For Smart Snapshots, the
system will only take a new snapshot if changes have been made in the selected
volume.
