NAS units.

To create a snapshot for a volume:

1. From the Manager Menu, click Storage Snapshots.

The Storage Snapshots page appears.

2.From the New Snapshot table, click the volume for which you are creating the snapshot.

3.Depending on the frequency, use the first part of the Every field to enter a unit of time. Tab to the second part of the Every field, and then click the snapshot frequency (that is, hours or days). For example, set the first part of the field to “7”, and the second part to “Days” to take a snapshot once every week.

4.Use the At: fields to set up the timing for the snapshot. For example, if the frequency is set to Days, set the hour and minute of the day at which you want the snapshot to be taken. Note: When entering the hour, use the 24-hour clock. For example, 3 p.m. should be entered as 15:00. When the frequency is set to Hours, you can only edit the minutes part of the At: field.
