To create a volume snapshot:
The New Snapshot wizard is displayed.
Valid characters include 0 to 9, A to Z and a to z, _ (underscore), and - (dash).
Valid characters include 0 to 9, A to Z and a to z, _(underscore), and -(dash), . (period), : (colon), , (comma), % (percent), ( ) (parenthesis), [ ] (brackets), { } (braces), ` (tick), ~ (tilde), and | (pipe).
A volume can have up to eight snapshots if it has a snapshot reserve. Space is consumed in the pool only for data written to the volume after a snapshot is taken.
The number of snapshots and amount of write activity you specify here together determine the size of the snapshot reserve. The number of snapshots that can actually be taken may be more or fewer than the number specified here if the write activity is less or more than anticipated.
Your selection here does not limit the number or snapshots you can create later.
