You can use ONTAP System Manager classic (available in ONTAP 9.7 and earlier) to create a Snapshot copy of a volume outside a defined schedule to capture the state of the file system at a specific point in time.

Steps

  1. Click Storage > Volumes.

  2. From the drop-down menu in the SVM field, select All SVMs.

  3. Select the volume from the list of volumes.

  4. Click More Actions > Manage Snapshots > Create.

  5. In the Create Snapshot Copy dialog box, if you want to change the default name, specify a new name for the Snapshot copy.

    Valid characters are ASCII characters, numerals, hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), and the plus (+) symbol.

    The default name of a Snapshot copy consists of the volume name and the timestamp.

  6. Click Create.

  7. Verify that the Snapshot copy that you created is included in the list of Snapshot copies in the Snapshot Copies tab.
