Snapshot policies allow the automated scheduling of snapshots for Storage Groups. Cloud Mobility snapshot policies can be managed using Unisphere for PowerMax and REST API and can only be created and modified with Embedded Management Unisphere. External Unisphere instances can add and remove Storage Groups from existing cloud snapshot policies.
The snapshot policy creation wizard is launched either after creating a cloud provider or from the Cloud Mobility Dashboard selecting Cloud Snapshot Policies and clicking Create Snapshot Policy as shown in Figure 14.
Note: The Snapshot Policies page is also available by going to Data Protection > Snapshot Policies.
In the Create Snapshot Policy as seen in Figure 15, the cloud snapshot policy parameters include:
Note: The Keep Until Specific Date must be greater than 3 days but less than 14 years.
