Copying a Volume (Off-line Copy)

Data from any volume type can be replicated offline using the CLI command volume copy create. Off-line replication is faster than on- line replication but both the source and destination volumes must be off- line which can create an interruption of service to the volume host(s). Because snapshot volumes are internal (off-line) volumes, this is a way of copying a snapshot volume.
