You can replace a folder or LUN with an earlier version by rolling back to a snapshot. When 
you roll back to a snapshot, the entire folder or LUN is replaced with the version captured by 
the snapshot. All snapshots that were taken after the snapshot that was used for rolling back 
are deleted. For information about how to roll back to a snapshot, see 

You can copy a snapshot to become a new independent data set (that is, a new share or 
LUN). Changes made to the clone do not affect the parent (“origin”) and changes made to the 
parent do not affect the clone. To handle storage in an efficient way, common blocks of data 
between the parent and the clone are shared. Because the clone is linked to the parent in this 
way, the parent cannot be deleted when a clone exists. Additionally, the clone cannot be 
migrated to a volume that does not contain the parent. For information about how to clone 
snapshots, see

You can configure the system to take snapshots according to a schedule that you specify or 
you can manually take snapshots.
