Notes:
- The File System Snapshot task requires a file system name, a snapshot mount point,
and a snapshot size.
- The File System Snapshot task is only available for VxFS file systems.
- The snapshot file system is an exact copy of the original file system at the time the
snapshot was created.
- After you create the snapshot copy of the file system, remember to back it up to tape or
some other media. Remove the snapshot file system when it is no longer needed.
- Users can continue to use theoriginal filesystem duringthis snapshotbackup procedure.
- Refer to the VERITAS File System Administrator’s Guide for guidelines on choosing the
snapshot file system size.
