SnapServer/GuardianOS 7.5 Administrator's Guide
Snapshots and iSCSI Disks
Running a GuardianOS snapshot on a volume containing an iSCSI disk will abruptly
disconnect any clients attempting to write to the iSCSI disk and the resulting snapshot may
contain inconsistent data. Do not use GuardianOS snapshots on a volume containing an iSCSI
disk.
To create a native snapshot of an iSCSI disk on Windows systems, use the VSS feature
described in
Create a Snapshot
1. Navigate to Storage > Snapshots and click Create Snapshot .
2. Configure the desired settings.
• Enter or accept the Snapshot Name (20 character maximum).
• Select the Source Volume/Storage Pool from the drop-down list.
• Specify when to create the snapshot.
