About snapshot collections
Creating snapshots of multiple volumes simultaneously is useful when you want to protect data in multiple, related
volumes. You can do this in one operation, using one of two methods:
• Create snapshots of all the volumes in a volume collection. The resulting set of snapshots, one for each volume
in the collection,
is called a snapshot collection. You can also schedule snapshot collections.
• Create snapshots of multiple volumes without using a volume collection. The resul
ting set of snapshots, one
for each volume, is called a custom snapshot collection. You cannot schedule custom snapshot collections.
