Create a manual snapshot
For a block volume asset that is protected by a policy with a snapshot objective, you can create a single snapshot of the asset by using the Take Snapshot functionality.
About this task
Snapshots are read-only, point-in-time copies of data within a volume or volume group that provide local data protection. Creating a snapshot saves the state of the asset at that particular point-in-time.
