Snapshot schedule results: This schedule keeps the two most recent
weekly
Snapshot copies, the six most recent nightly
Snapshot copies, and the
eight most recent hourly
Snapshot copies, created at 8 a.m., noon, 4 p.m., and 8
p.m. every day. Whenever the Snapshot schedule creates a new
Snapshot copy of a particular type, it deletes the oldest one and renames the existing ones. On the
hour, for example, the system deletes hourly.7, renames hourly.0 to hourly.1, and
so on.
Note: If you omit the @ argument specifying the hours for the hourly
Snapshot copies,
Data ONTAP creates a
Snapshot copy every hour. Nightly and weekly
Snapshot copies are always created at midnight.
