The name of a snapshot created by a policy matches the policy name. The following figure shows a list of snapshots that the HourlyDefault policy created.
Modifying the name of a policy also modifies the name of snapshots that were already taken.
The Snapshot type column indicates the snapshot was taken by a policy. Snapshots that were created manually have a snapshot type of Manual.
