Archiving a snapshot

Some snapshot specification yield numerous snapshots, especially those scheduled to run on a recurring basis. You can archive all snapshots to keep a record of all snapshots run for a server or group of servers.

When you archive a snapshot, it detaches the snapshot from the server and removes its connection to the original snapshot specification.

  1. In the navigation pane select Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation > Snapshot Specifications.
  2. Select an operating system: Windows or UNIX.
  3. Select a Snapshot Specification.
    The Details pane displays all snapshots associated with the selected snapshot specification.
  4. To archive a snapshot, select it, right-click it, then select Archive.
  5. Click Yes to confirm that you want to archive the snapshot, since doing so will remove the link between the snapshot and the snapshot specification.
  6. To view all archived snapshot results, in the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation > Archived Snapshots.
