Force
The force command forces a snapshot of a specified protected server. Forcing a snapshot lets you force a data transfer for
the current protected machine. When you force a snapshot, the transfer will start immediately or will be added to the queue.
Only the data that has changed from a previous recovery point will be transferred. If there is no previous recovery point, all data
on the protected volumes will be transferred.
Usage
The usage for the command is as follows:
/force [snapshot] default | [base] [-all | -protectedserver [name | IP address]] -core
[host name] -user [user name] -password [password]
