Table 85   Protect  > Snapshot > Add Job 

Job Name

This is a required field that uniquely identifies the snapshot. Type from 1 
to 15 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters (A-Z 0-9) and "_" 
[underscores]. The first character must be a letter.

Volume Name

Select the (internal) volume to take a snapshot of. 
When creating a new snapshot, only volumes that are already created on 
the NSA are available. 

Note: You can only create one snapshot job per volume.

A snapshot must be done on a complete volume, and not a single file or 
folder. However you can restore files from a snapshot on an individual file-
by-file basis. 

Max. Number of Snapshot 
Image(s)

Select the number of snapshot images to take from 1 to 5. It’s strongly 
recommended to set this as low as possible as each new snapshot image 
created will reduce the NSA’s file write performance.

Period

Select how often the job should run (Hourly, Daily, or Weekly). It is 
recommended you schedule snapshots for times when your network is 
not busy, such as at night. If two events are configured to run at the same 
time, then one must wait until the other finishes running.
Enter the time, and/or day as appropriate for your selection.
