Table 24: Volume Snapshots Lower Pane Fields
The date and time at which the snapshot was created.
The snapshot's type. This can be any of the following:
Online. A scheduled or manually taken snapshot that has not
been deleted.
System. The snapshot was taken as part of a system task, such as
cloud backup or an outgoing synchronization rule, so as to so as
to ensure that a consistent, point-in-time image of all files is
transmitted during backup/synchronization. The snapshot will be
automatically deleted when the task is completed.
Deleted. The snapshot has been deleted, but the space it is using
on the volume has not yet been reclaimed (that is, the snapshot
has not yet been compacted).
The snapshot's status. This can be any of the following:
Ready. The snapshot is mounted and available.
Pending delete. The snapshot is in queue for deletion.
Deleting. The snapshot is being deleted. A progress bar indicates
the deletion's progress.
Pending compact. The snapshot will be compacted when the
appliance is next rebooted.
Compacting. The snapshot is being compacted. A progress bar
indicates the compaction's progress.
Offline. The snapshot is currently unavailable.
The total amount of data contained in the snapshot in GB.
The amount of data that changed between this snapshot and the
previous snapshot in GB, followed by the percentage of the data that
changed.
NEXT3 stores snapshots efficiently, by storing only incremental
changes. The data reduction field displays the ratio between the
actual amount of space used for storing this snapshot incrementally,
and the amount of space which would have been used had the
snapshot been stored non-incrementally, in percentages. In other
words, this field represents the amount of space saved by using an
incremental method to store this snapshot.
