NOTE Please do not manually start or create a time schedule for a snapshot which is already
assigned to backups or replication tasks. This will block the backup or replication tasks as they
are specifically assigned to activate the snapshot during the process.
NOTE The snapshot utilizes copy-on-write technology. The more active snapshots you have,
the lower write performance of the volume will be. It is recommended to have no more than 2-3
active snapshots per volume.
NOTE Snapshots cannot be activated on an inconsistent volume. Volumes become
inconsistent when volume replication is initializing. Once initialization is complete, the
inconsistent volume will be consistent again and snapshots can be activated.
