We're looking at using snapvault as a backup solution and after reading a bit of the documentation I was struck by the fact that it appears that the snapvault snap sched command can only schedule hourly, daily and weekly snapshots. Is there not a way to schedule monthly and yearly snapshots? Also, I don't see a way to specify that I want to keep one (or more) particular snapshots for a greater length of time without changing the whole destination volumes retention period. Is this correct?
Thanks for any insight on this.
Hi,
use a rsh command like this
snap rename volname sv_nightly.0 2008_10
You may schedule this from an server at every last day in the month
If you want to keep a snapshot
snap rename volname sv_nightly.10 Snapshot_for_xxxx
The file fill up the missing one at the next snapvault schedule

Ok, thanks. That makes sense. It's too bad though that the monthly snaps can't be scheduled right on the filer though.
