LABEL DESCRIPTION
Job Name This is a required field that uniquely identifies the snapshot. Type from 1
to 15 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters (A-Z 0-9) and "_"
[underscores]. The first character must be a letter.
Volume Name Select the (internal) volume to take a snapshot of.
When creating a new snapshot, only volumes that are already created on
the NSA are available.
Note: You can only create one snapshot job per volume.
A snapshot must be done on a complete volume, and not a single file or
folder. However you can restore files from a snapshot on an individual file-
by-file basis.
Max. Number of Snapshot
Image(s)
Select the number of snapshot images to take from 1 to 5. It’s strongly
recommended to set this as low as possible as each new snapshot image
created will reduce the NSA’s file write performance.
Period Select how often the job should run (Hourly, Daily, or Weekly). It is
recommended you schedule snapshots for times when your network is
not busy, such as at night. If two events are configured to run at the same
time, then one must wait until the other finishes running.
Enter the time, and/or day as appropriate for your selection.
