4.5. Storage > Snapshots
Snapshots are read-only, point-in-time preservations of a file system or a portion of a
volume. Because the server runs on a copy-on-write operating system, snapshots can be
taken almost instantaneously.

storage volume from its pull-down list. Click the Add Snapshot button.
You can then specify a Name for the snapshot. You can select the Recursively check box
to enable snapshots for all sub-directories under the currently selected Folder Group.
Logical Disk Snapshots
To create snapshots for a Logical Disk, select a logical disk under the major storage
volume from its pull-down list. Click the Add Snapshot button.
