SnapshotHostVolume

Creates snapshots (point-in-time copies) of the storage volumes (virtual disks) that underlies a host
volume. The snapshot copies are presented to the enabled host and a host bus scan is performed to
identify the presented storage.

When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
SnapshotHostVolume ( %hostvol_unc_name%, DEMAND_ALLOCATED, SAME, WAIT )
UNC Host Volume Name (%hostvol_unc_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of the host disk
device to be copied.
Snapshot Type. Select demand_allocated or fully_allocated.
RAID Level. Select the redundancy level for the copy. Choices are RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, and same. See
