For example, highlight the default interval of 60 and replace it with the value 20 to perform snapshots
every 20 minutes during this period.
5. To create a peak and off-peak period for weekdays, change the time range of the weekday period so that it
does not include a 24-hour period, set an optimal interval for the peak range, select Take snapshots for the
remaining time ,and then set an off-peak interval by doing the following:
