From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Ensure that the left navigation pane displays the Vservers hierarchy.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the Vserver and click Storage > Volumes.
4.
Select the volume on which you want to create the Snapshot copy.
5.
Click Snapshot Copies > Create.

In the Create Snapshot Copydialog box, if you want to change the default name, specify a new name for the Snapshot copy.
Valid characters are ASCII characters, numerals, the hyphen (-), underscore (_), period (.) and the plus (+) symbol.
The default name of a Snapshot copy consists of the volume name and the timestamp.
