Creating a Snapshot copy
You can create a Snapshot copy of a volume to capture the state of the file system at a specific point in time.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system to display a subtree of management features.
2.
Click Storage > Volumes.
3.
Select the volume that you want to copy.
4.
From the Snapshot menu, select Create to display the Create Snapshot Copy dialog box.
5.
If you want to use a Snapshot copy name other than the one provided by System Manager, type your new Snapshot copy name in the Snapshot name field.
System Manager provides a default Snapshot copy name that consists of the volume name and the timestamp.
6.
Click Create.
