Coordinating Snapshot and Backup Operations
60 Snap Server Administrator Guide
depending on the number of files in the volume.) For example, assuming you
schedule nightly backups for a heavily used volume at 3:00 a.m., you might
schedule the snapshot of the volume to run every day at 2:30 a.m., allowing
half an hour for the snapshot to run to completion.

If necessary, create a share for each volume with snapshot share enabled.
In the Administration Tool, begin by navigating to the
Security > Shares
screen
,
and then click
Create Share
. Select the volume and click
Continue
. Then, to create
a share to the volume itself (on the root), simply accept the default path by
clicking
Use Current Path
. Finally, be sure to select Create Snapshot Share .

Set the backup software to archive the latest version of the snapshot.
The Snap Server makes it easy to configure your backup software to
automatically archive the most recent snapshot. Simply configure your backup
software to copy the contents of the
latest
directory within the snapshot share
you created at the root of the volume. For example, assume the snapshot share
named
SHARE1_SNAP contains the following four directories:
latest
2003-12-25.120000
2004-01-01.000100
2004-01-07.020100
Each directory inside the snapshot share represents a different snapshot. The
directory names reflect the date and time the snapshot was created. However, the
latest
directory always points to the latest snapshot (in this case,
2003-01-
07.020100
, or January 7th, 2003, at 2:01 a.m.). In this case, configuring the
backup software to copy from
\SHARE1_SNAP\latest
ensures that the most recently created snapshot is always archived.
