4.5 Creating an AiiR Process
In addition to making a single snapshot (either instant or scheduled) the BakStor has an option
for scheduling multiple snapshots to be scheduled.
The BakStor’s ‘AiiR’ module contains a snapshot scheduler that can configure and run up to
100 snapshots.
To set up an AiiR schedule choose AiiR ? Create an AiiR process
Info to enter:
Slice name. The slice to take a snapshot of.
Snapshot capacity. The amount of space allocated for the AiiR process. Defined as
percent of the size of the slice to be taken snapshots of.
Number of rotations. Number of snapshots to be taken.

Figure 4-13 Configuring an AiiR process
The figure shows an example configuration for a 7-day cycle. The schedule uses five snapshots.
The first snapshot is taken at 20:00 hours on the first day
The process repeats for 5 cycles (in this case there are 24 hours between the snapshots). There is
then a skip of the next 48 hours (2 days), and then the schedule starts again.
