What the system does

If you created a new volume for the remote volume, the system creates a new primary snapshot of
the primary volume and a remote snapshot of the remote volume. See
remote snapshots" on page 29.
If you selected an existing volume to become the remote volume, the system alerts you that it will
create a snapshot to save existing data on the volume. The snapshot that is then created retains all
the volume's data.
1. Enter a name for that snapshot in the alert.
2. Click OK to continue.
The new snapshot is created and the volume becomes a remote volume.
The system creates a new primary snapshot of the primary volume and a remote snapshot of the
remote volume. It then copies the data from the primary snapshot to the remote snapshot. This process
occurs according to the schedule.

Pausing and resuming scheduled snapshots

At times, it may be convenient to prevent a scheduled snapshot from taking place. This section describes
how to pause and then resume a schedule to snapshot a volume.

the schedule.
