Create a snapshot schedule

You can create a snapshot schedule to continuously generate snapshots of directories.

Run the isi snapshot schedules create command.
The following command creates a snapshot schedule for /ifs/data/media:
isi snapshot schedules create hourly /ifs/data/media \
HourlyBackup_%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M "Every day every hour" \
--duration 1M
The following commands create multiple snapshot schedules for /ifs/data/media that generate and expire snapshots at different rates:
isi snapshot schedules create every-other-hour \
/ifs/data/media EveryOtherHourBackup_%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M \
"Every day every 2 hours" --duration 1D
isi snapshot schedules create daily /ifs/data/media \
Daily_%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M "Every day at 12:00 AM" --duration 1W
isi snapshot schedules create weekly /ifs/data/media \
Weekly_%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M "Every Saturday at 12:00 AM" --duration 1M 
isi snapshot schedules create monthly /ifs/data/media \
Monthly_%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M \
"The 1 Saturday of every month at 12:00 AM" --duration 3M
