In the snap sched command, the first argument after the volume name in the exam-
ple indicates how many weekly snapshots to keep (2), the second argument indicates
how many nightly snapshots to keep (6), and the third argument indicates how many
hourly snapshots to keep (8). A zero in any of the three positions disables snapshots
for that interval.
The argument for hourly snapshots can include an optional list of numbers indicating
the hours at which the filer creates the snapshots in 24-hour time (8, 12, 17, 20). If the
argument is omitted, the filer creates an hourly snapshot.
The default snapshot schedule is
